127. Invisible Gap (1)
“Something suspicious.”
The next morning, Catalina Blaga sat in bed and pondered.
It’s because what happened last night didn’t make sense to me.
“No matter how much I think about it, it looks like my children attacked the little dragon… … .”
But I couldn’t even doubt it.
If that’s really the case, it’s because there’s no way Kwon Wol would have covered his family.
In addition, Levitt’s reaction was also one of the causes of Catalina Blaga’s hesitation.
It was because there was no way I could have sympathized with Kwon-wool’s words so naturally unless I had a real sparring.
All circumstances proved that Gwon-ul was right.
However, Catalina Blaga could not erase her doubts.
Then I suddenly realized.
“… … shackles.”
The shackles on Kwon-ul’s wrists were loosened.
I was so embarrassed at the time that I didn’t even notice.
“How did you solve that?”
The key to unlocking the shackles is with Catalina Blaga. Kwon-wool is dead, but even if he wakes up, the shackles cannot be undone.
“… … Troy?”
Catalina Blaga said in a low voice. The door opened and Troy entered.
“Yes, please.”
“You know I was very disappointed last night, right?”
Troy fell to the floor. I hit my forehead so much that the ground trembled.
“sorry.”
Catalina Blaga looked down at Troy with a cold gaze before saying,
“I will give you a chance to make up for it. Go and watch Kwon-wool.”
“Thank you for trusting me once more.”
“And keep an eye on the other family members in the mansion as well.”
“… … yes?”
Troy gave a look of incomprehension. Catalina Blaga said in a barbed voice.
“Don’t worry, do what you’re told to do.”
“sorry.”
Troy went out again. As he disappeared, Catalina Blaga murmured, pursed lips.
“That won’t happen, but… … Just in case you don’t know.”
It was when I mumbled like that. There was a knock.
“Lady Catalina. The Senate sent someone.”
Catalina Blaga was not surprised by the servant’s words. I just thought it was coming.
“They say there are things to ask about Dark Heaven’s declaration of war.”

“I am joining the surveillance team from today.”
next day.
Kwon-wool has been facing an unwelcome guest since the morning.
“Who do you want?”
“This is an order from Catalina Blaga.”
Kwon Wol clicked his tongue at those words. One of Troy’s eyebrows twitched.
“Did you just click your tongue?”
“Oh, you misunderstood.”
Kwon-wool immediately denied it.
“I’ll be watching you anytime, anywhere, so don’t do anything stupid.”
“I see.”
Gwon-ul answered and waited for Troy to leave.
However, no matter how long he waited, Troy did not think of leaving the room.
“hey?”
“what?”
“Why aren’t you leaving?”
“Why should I go out?”
Kwon Kwon-ul and Troy made a puzzled look at each other.
“Are you sure you want to stay in this room?”
“It is not.”
“As expected.”
“I have to follow you. If you leave the room, I will also leave this room.”
Kwon-ul felt goose bumps. Could it be that what he just said was not a warning, but the truth?
“No matter how much it is an order, do I have to go this far?”
“This is the last chance Catalina-sama gave us. I intend to complete it thoroughly.”
Troy’s eyes shone fiercely. Gwon-ul had a headache.
It was then.
“Uncle Troy!”
The door burst open and Levit entered. Levitt said, hugging Troy’s arm.
“I heard you’re a watchdog from today? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I couldn’t afford to say it because it was just decided in the morning.”
“It’s just fine. You can take this opportunity to ask the uncle about a lot of things.”
“I didn’t come to teach you, but to monitor Kwon Wol… … .”
“Ah, it’s noisy and come quickly. I will be angry if you don’t come.”
Levitt reluctantly pulled Troy. Troy was reluctantly dragged along, even with a troubled expression on his face.
“Wait a minute.”
“Yes, yes.”
Before going out, Levitt winked at Kwon-ul.
As soon as the two went outside, another member of the family came inside.
“Meet the master.”
The family members bowed their heads and presented the data they had been investigating.
It was the structure and organizational chart of the Blaga family that Gwon-ul Kwon requested yesterday.
Gwonwool quickly went through the materials presented by his family.
‘I thought this place was somewhere in the Philippines.’
The Blaga family owned one whole of the many islands in the Philippines.
The exact location of the Blaga family has never been known. The reason was this.
‘Originally, I heard that the Blaga family started in Europe. Why did you move to the Philippines?’
I was interested, but now was not the time to worry.
‘It’s difficult to escape.’
The topography of the island was the same, but the biggest problem was the monsters surrounding the family.
The Blaga family used the monsters they controlled through their vassal blood to guard the family.
From the minimum gold level to the maximum diamond level.
The senses of monsters are much better than those of hunters. It was impossible to deceive their attention and escape.
‘If you tell me to fight, I can hit any number of them… … .’
If caught by a monster, the members of the Blaga family would immediately come forward.
If Cavalier Umbra, like Troy, came forward, even Kwon Kwon-ul could not guarantee victory.
‘If it’s impossible to escape… … Should I go out with confidence?’
The Blaga family is a society with a high rate of self-sufficiency, using slaves to produce food and make necessary household items.
However, since self-sufficiency cannot solve everything, they sometimes procure daily necessities from outside.
‘A cargo ship visits the island once a month.’
Coincidentally, the date the next cargo ship would visit was two days later.
Since they come and go to the island regularly, you can trick the monsters guarding the island and run away by sneaking into this cargo ship.
‘First of all, we have to find a way to infiltrate the cargo ship. After that, you just have to stay unnoticed until the cargo ship leaves… … .’
The first one wasn’t that difficult. The second problem was.
As long as Troy was watching Kwon-wool, it was impossible to remain undetected until the freighter left.
‘I think I can use illusion.’
Hwanmyeong (幻鳴).
It is the power to create illusions using sound waves. Because it is secretive, the person concerned does not even know that he or she is under illusion, and it has a great advantage that it lasts for a long time.
Originally, I was going to use illusion to satisfy the last condition, but… … .
“I’ll go before Troy finds out.”
“Oh, wait.”
Gwonwool caught the family who was about to leave.
＜The authority ‘Phantom’ is manifested.＞
＜A bell rings.＞
Gwonwool used Hwanmyeong on his family. He hinted at himself so that he could not be seen.
“Tell me what I look like.”
“I can see the master… … ?”
His family had a face that said, “Why are you asking something obvious?” Gwonwool sighed deeply.
“If the level is even a little high, illusion won’t work.”
It was easy to use for non-Hunters and non-Hunters, but it didn’t work for his followers.
Like the dominance, there were many difficult points in the authority of the subordinate blood.
In fact, Kwon Sok-hyeol was not the only one. Among the skills used by hunters, all illusion series had difficult usage conditions.
“Should I think of another way?”
It was then.
My head throbbed like electricity went up. Gwon-ul groaned and grabbed his head.
“Lord, master?”
The family did not know what to do and supported Kwon-wool. Gwonwool held out his hand and reassured his family.
“Ugh.”
But the pain has only subsided a little, but it still ache in my head.
Then, new messages surfaced.
＜’Genius blood’ and ‘Gwonsok blood’ respond.＞
＜The area of the brain is expanded by genius blood!＞
＜Kwonsokhyeol’s function is newly opened!＞
The whole world began to be dyed in color. The bed, the table, and the light from the lamp spread like paint.
“master?”
The body of the attendant was also stained with color.
Unlike objects that have only one color, all kinds of colors are moving dynamically.
Red, blue, or all three colors appeared simultaneously.
what these colors mean Gwon-wool intuitively realized.
＜The authority ‘Phantom’ is manifested.＞
＜A bell rings.＞
I used illusion again. He concentrated his power on the blue color surrounding the head of his attendant.
At that moment, the pupils of the attendant widened.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Lord, master? Where are you going?”
The attendants were embarrassed and looked around the week. It wasn’t acting, it looked like Kwon Kwon-wool was really invisible.
Unlike the flustered family members, a smile spread across Kwon-wool’s face.
“If that’s the case, it’s worth trying again.”

The place where Catalina Blaga was headed was the cathedral built on the outskirts of the Blaga family.
Upon entering, I saw a round table made of bronze.
Seven people were already sitting around the table.
“I didn’t expect seven of the busy elders to be gathered.”
Catalina Blaga took an empty seat at the round table.
“Are you here?”
A middle-aged man with a mustache said. In terms of appearance, she looked much older than Catalina Blaga, but she was rather respectful.
“Simon. It’s nicer to see you after a long time.”
“It is overrated. Catalina-sama is dazzlingly beautiful after seeing her for the first time in a long time.”
Contrary to the words of praise, the expression of the man called Simon was not very pretty.
It wasn’t just Simon. It was the same with all the other elders.
“Lady Catalina, the situation is urgent, so let’s move on to the main topic.”
“Is there anything to bother you about? Everyone called me because of the Heukcheon family, right?”
Catalina Blaga crossed her arms disapprovingly.
“Why are you all so frightened? Only then will the name of the Blaga family cry.”
“Lady Catalina… … Is that what you want to say now?”
Simon stroked his forehead as if he was in trouble.
“The opponent is the Heukcheon family. The same monsters that wiped out the Mei family overnight declared war.”
“Simon. Don’t be cocky and try to teach me. Because you know everything.”
bang.
One of the elders slammed the table with the palm of his hand and jumped up.
“i know? Someone you all know is kidnapping a blood relative in the Black Sky? Are you an apprentice!”
When one exploded, the other elders reacted in the same way. Everyone raised their voices and criticized Catalina Blaga.
“Send the man back immediately!”
“you’re right! I have to calm down somehow… … .”
“stop.”
Catalina Blaga has the momentum. A ferocious aura overwhelmed all the elders.
The noisy church suddenly became quiet.
I was so surprised by the name of the Heukcheon family that I forgot it for a while. Who was the actual ruler of the Blaga family?”
“I have no intention of sending Kwon Han-ul back.”
Despair appeared on the faces of the elders. Still, Catalina Blaga didn’t care.
“The Heukcheon family? If you want to come, let me ask you to come.”
