Southern district park.

Under the quiet moonlight.

Matthias swallowed hard.

He prided himself on having seen many people as one of the five elders of the Magic Tower.

There were those with strong momentum, those with good skills, those skilled in combat, and those with strong momentum, good skills, and skilled in combat.

Like the half-blood Barbaroi standing right before his eyes.

However, looking into the man’s strangely subdued eyes.

Matthias’s instinct sounded an alarm.

There was something fundamentally different from the crowds he had met until now.

‘Is he crazy?’

‘Is he not crazy?’

I don’t know.

Really.

Jeong Yushin tapped the scabbard.

The faces of the wizards were all a sight to behold.

Expressions as if they had gone into ice water in the middle of winter and come out.

Especially funny was the face of Malachi standing next to the old wizard.

What a sight it was to see him with a grim expression, dripping with cold sweat.

The wizards couldn’t open their mouths, as if they had received some kind of mental shock from his words.

Jeong Yushin walked away from Vendrick.

A leisurely and graceful, predator’s gait.

The wizards slowly backed away as they watched Jeong Yushin approach.

Some of the more timid ones trembled and took out wands from their pockets.

“Master Sca!!! Don’t come any closer!!!”

Matthias shouted loudly.

Jeong Yushin stopped and observed the wizards’ eyes.

As with the other wizards.

Matthias’s eyes were also full of confusion.

Jeong Yushin seemed to know what Matthias was thinking.

Wasn’t one question constantly repeating in his head?

Jeong Yushin smiled and opened his mouth.

“Is he crazy? Is he not crazy?”

As Jeong Yushin’s words echoed through the park, Matthias felt a chill down his spine.

Could it be.

Does he have an engraving that reads minds?

He inadvertently looked into Jeong Yushin’s eyes.

It felt like looking into the abyss of a maze.

It was difficult to fully handle the current situation.

He needed time to calm down and think about whether this man was crazy or not.

Matthias decided to retreat inwardly.

“W, we will go back now.”

Vendrick breathed a sigh of relief.

The Magic Tower was a group that possessed a large number of skilled wizards.

Because the people from the Magic Tower were closely connected, they wielded great influence not only in the Lionel Kingdom but also in the Eastern Allied Territories.

Moreover, there was nothing good about causing conflict ahead of a major conference.

Nevertheless, there was only one reason to remain in place.

Because his sons had been indebted to this man.

But.

“Where are you going?”

As the half-blood Barbaroi’s words echoed again, Vendrick swallowed hard.

It wasn’t Sca’s safety that he should be worried about.

It was the people of the Magic Tower.

Matthias glared and gritted his teeth.

“Master Sca, you are using His Majesty’s grace as a shield.”

“What a load of crap. These bastards.”

Jeong Yushin spat out profanity and looked around at the wizards.

“Not only did you treat an innocent person as a member of a foreign god, but you also secretly followed me in the shadows?”

He had to end it here.

“Decide in this place. Whether you stop spying. Or offer your heads here.”

“This…this guy really! Master Sca! Do you think we’re a joke?!”

Matthias’s voice was full of excitement.

The initial composure had disappeared like dust scattered in the wind, and he was swayed by emotion.

Jeong Yushin grinned and drew his single-edged sword.

“Let’s test it.”

Dududududuk.

Sticky water dripped from the scabbard.

‘Heeuk♥’

A strange moan echoed in his head, but he ignored it.

Matthias hurriedly stepped back and put his hand into his pocket.

“W, what is that?!”

Why is a sword with water flowing out of it popping out in this situation?

He couldn’t understand it at all.

Is it poison?

Or is he trying to use another technique?

Because the Barbaroi in front of him used so many amazing abilities, he couldn’t imagine.

As he squeezed his head to the limit while looking at the abyss-like man, his stomach churned.

“I don’t know either.”

At Jeong Yushin’s words, the wizards took another step back.

A display of psychological warfare until the end.

The remaining wizards also pulled out their wands with tense expressions.

A touch-and-go situation.

At that moment.

“Stop there.”

Ingrid stepped out from the darkness.

“Haaahm. Yeah, Ingrid’s right. What are you doing in the middle of the night?”

Astoroth, with a tired face, also popped out from somewhere and sat on a bench.

Many high-ranking people gathered in the park in the middle of the night.

“We could hold a summit meeting here?”

Astoroth muttered.

Ingrid stepped forward.

“Sca, stop.”

Jeong Yushin swung his sword to shake off the sticky water and slowly nodded.

“I understand. If the Magic Tower people no longer invade my privacy.”

Ingrid looked at Matthias.

Matthias bit his lip several times, then finally lowered his head.

“I…I understand. Let’s go.”

Unlike when they suddenly appeared, the wizards moved their feet and left the park.

“I wondered why you were returning to the inn later than me. Were you doing this here?”

As Ingrid lamented, Vendrick shrugged his shoulders.

“I was late because I was drinking with Sca and wandering around, you know?”

Astoroth and Ingrid’s strange gazes were fixed on Vendrick.

Ingrid turned her body.

“Let’s go back to the inn first. Astoroth, good work.”

“I’m going to drink too?”

“Shouldn’t you go into the castle and rest?”

“What does it matter? My shift is over today.”

Ingrid turned her head and looked at Jeong Yushin.

A look that said she would leave the choice to the innkeeper.

Jeong Yushin nodded.

“Yes. Come.”

Astoroth smiled and stood up from the bench.

“That’s right. Let’s go!”

“Where do you think you’re going?”

A clear and cool voice rang out.

An elven woman appeared in the park.

Green hair.

Mysterious eyes and long ears that sparkled in the moonlight.

If you only looked at her face, she looked like a noble elf.

The watermelon-sized breasts voluptuously swayed between the thin cloths that wrapped her body.

Ingrid narrowed her eyes.

“Ellasein? When did you come?”

“I arrived a few days ago. There was time until the summit meeting, so I continued to stay in the Silver Forest for rest.”

If it’s the Silver Forest.

The closest forest to the Labyrinth City.

It was the place where he trained with Instructor Ashur last time.

“What’s the reason for suddenly coming here?”

Ellasein clapped her hands twice with a fairly annoyed expression.

Clap clap!

An elf appeared from the darkness carrying a small iron cage.

A familiar fellow was trapped in the cage.

White rat Lin.

Lin collapsed in the cage, then grabbed the bars of the cage when he saw Jeong Yushin.

“Squeak!”

“This rat. Isn’t it your familiar?”

At Ellasein’s question, Ingrid looked at Lin trapped in the cage and nodded.

“That’s right. Is there any problem?”

Ellasein’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

“This guy came into my bedroom and stole an unfinished elixir.”

“…”

People lost their words and stared blankly at Lin trapped in the cage.

It’s dizzying.

“Let’s go to the inn first. It doesn’t seem like a story to be told outside.”

At Ingrid’s words, Ellasein’s eyes lit up.

“Okay. There’s no need to go to the castle. Let’s talk alone.”

As people gathered together and walked, Ellasein, who was moving her feet, tilted her head.

“Ingrid, how far are all these people following?”

Vendrick shrugged his shoulders and answered instead.

“Why? We are staying at the same inn as Ingrid.”

“This voice is…Vendrick? The king of Lionel and the representative of the Beastkin Union are staying at the same inn? Is it an inn with gold applied to it?”

“That’s not it, but it’s comfortable. It’s not particularly lacking compared to the castle. It can be said that it’s reasonably good enough for the elf queen to stay.”

“Where the hell is it?”

At Ellasein’s question, Vendrick smiled with his hands behind his back.

“You’ll know when you go.”

Contrary to Ellasein’s expectations.

The group arrived at an inn in the corner of the southern district.

An inn that looked newly built.

If you were a discerning person, you would know that it was a building built sturdily using a lot of good materials.

Jeong Yushin and his party stood in front of the inn door.

The beastkin and human who were waiting in front of the door bowed deeply. Their movements were stiff as if they were quite nervous.

“Have you arrived?”

Ingrid nodded.

“Yes. Guests have arrived, so don’t neglect the security.”

“Yes!”

Jeong Yushin crossed his arms and looked around the inn.

It seemed like there were more people guarding the inn than in the morning.

Since when did this many people gather?

As Jeong Yushin looked around with a dumbfounded expression, Vendrick gave a sheepish smile.

“I thought it would be insufficient to entrust the escort only to Ingrid’s subordinates. So I drew a few people from the Royal Guard. Including the attendants who will be in charge of preparing meals.”

“Ah…yes.”

When he opened the inn door and went inside, quite a few people were standing guard with vigilance.

The elf queen looked around and said a word.

“Not bad.”

Well, he had poured 1000 gold coins into this inn.

It was a change that would surprise Darmong.

“Innkeeper, give me some wine.”

Vendrick said, sitting at the large round table in the center.

“Haven’t you had a lot to drink?”

“I woke up from walking. This time with a meal.”

“I understand.”

The attendants busily went into the kitchen, and Jeong Yushin stood at the counter cabinet.

At the round table.

Lilis’s representative Astoroth.

Lionel’s king Vendrick.

Elf queen Ellasein.

Beastkin Union representative Ingrid sat down.

Jeong Yushin took out glasses according to the number of people and wiped them with a dry cloth.

‘Heung. I told you. That they would gather here. Now only the dwarf king is left.’

Beatrice retorted in a sticky voice.

Jeong Yushin didn’t answer and brought the wine and glasses to the round table.

Drip drip drip.

Wine was poured into the glass.

People drank one glass each.

“First, let Lin go.”

At Ingrid’s request, Ellasein flicked her finger.

Lin, who had been released from the cage, hugged Ingrid once, then quickly fell off and jumped into Jeong Yushin’s arms.

“No. What is this.”

Jeong Yushin was embarrassed, but carefully received Lin with his palm.

He didn’t know how much he had eaten in the Silver Forest, but he was quite heavy.

His belly seemed to stick out a bit too.

Lin awkwardly climbed up Jeong Yushin’s arm and tried to go into the front pocket of his shirt.

But because he was fat, only his plump butt was left wriggling.

“Squeak squeak!”

Lin, who had put his head into the front pocket of his shirt, shouted.

People’s gazes were focused on Jeong Yushin, so he was extremely embarrassed.

First, he pressed Lin’s butt with his finger and put him in his shirt.

After a while.

Lin, who had perfectly settled in the front pocket of his shirt, poked his face out and fell fast asleep with a comfortable expression.

The elf queen drank a glass of wine and sighed deeply.

“Hoo. So what are you going to do? That guy swallowed the unfinished elixir whole.”

“Tell me. I will compensate.”

“I can somehow get the other ingredients, but one ingredient is a problem.”

“What is it?”

“Half incubus bodily fluid.”

“…”

When Ellasein’s words ended, silence fell on the round table.
