Chapter 728 : Traitor (2)
An art museum in District 4 that I once visited several tis on my own.
In an abandoned place without a caretaker due to Noark’s invasion, a woman is putting the paintings on her wall into the subspace.
“Um… Emily?”
“It’s not stealing.”
“…yes?”
“Because if we leave it like this, people who don’t even know its value may wantonly damage it… .”
“Ah ah… yes… I see.”
“I never take it with the intention of keeping it for myself and hanging it up in my house later. If you ask for it back, I plan on giving it back right away. “Do you understand?”
“… Yes, I understand. But that’s not what I was trying to say, it was sothing else… ”
At Auyen’s words, Alia cleared her throat with an embarrassed expression.
“…Tell .”
“Well… it’s nothing special… Ah! And of course I’m not urging you to do it! “I just wanted to know what my future plans are… ”
At that question, Alia rested her chin with a montary expression of concern.
and… .
“I’m thinking about it.”
“…yes?”
“Because it’s worth holding on for now. There is no need to move in a hurry, right? Even if you feel frustrated, just endure it a little longer.”
“No no! “Nothing frustrating or anything like that at all!”
“If that’s the case, I’m glad.”
From then on, Alia walked around the unlit museum to put her art pieces in the empty space, and she helped Au Yan by her side.
and… .
“Are you sure you don’t want to take that?”
“Those works are trash. “It is said that when the author was alive, she made it her business to do an things to young girls.”
“… Let’s burn it down.”
After using the remaining works as kindling, Alia leaned back and rested, and Auyen did not bother her by talking any more.
“… .”
“… .”
The silence continued like that.
A long ti has passed and it is getting dark outside the window.
Auyen opened his mouth in a quiet voice.
“… I’m sorry, Emily.”
A question missing a subject.
However, Alia imdiately understood the aning and laughed.
“Are you talking about the ti when we fell?”
“Yes… If I hadn’t fallen back then… we wouldn’t have had to hide away from each other like this.”
The day the main force abandoned them and retreated.
Auyen, who was on the front line, was unable to dodge the arrows that flew in during the lee and fell behind.
As soon as Alia saw this, she imdiately went to save him. She turned her back on him, and though he saved her, she beca separated from her clan mbers.
Then, as she moved around to avoid encountering enemies as much as possible, she ended up at the 4th District Art Museum.
“… Sorry. “I grabbed your ankle… ”
“I’m not sorry.”
“…yes?”
“In tis like that, I say thank you.”
Even as she said that, Alia found it a bit funny and laughed.
‘I’m not saying I’m sorry, I’m saying thank you… .’
A line she never would have said if she had been the venomous woman she used to be.
As I thought about that, a strange feeling of loneliness suddenly blood.
It’s not just missing a person, it’s an emotion that starts with a specific person in mind.
‘… I wonder if another accident occurred in the anti.’
Even as she was worried, Alia realized sothing.
This is the feeling of ‘missing you’, and that ‘missing you’ is a little different from what she felt towards her own sister.
Sigh.
Instinctively, Alia, who had been crouching behind the wall where the least amount of light reached, got up and headed to her window.
The window seat where the bright moonlight cos in best.
Originally, she did not prefer this position.
When she was young, she developed a habit that lasted her entire life. She felt comfortable in dark places and felt an inexplicable discomfort in bright places.
but… .
‘Not bad.’
Alia quietly chanted as she bathed in the warm moonlight.
“Emily Raines.”
I created a new na because I didn’t want to cause trouble.
At first, she was satisfied just by being able to live in Yangji under that na.
Was I this greedy person?
“Alia Lane Wales.”
She thought, saying her real na out loud for the first ti in a long ti.
‘perhaps.’
Maybe it’s ti to end the life of hiding in the shadows—.
“…?”
When her thoughts reached that point, she noticed abnormal signs in her body and quickly manifested her supernatural ability.
‘Self-replication.’
The ability that I had used as my own for a long ti did not manifest.
and… .
“… “Is this a punishnt for being greedy?”
She knew very well why.
***
“The character has entered the range of [Unspoken Spirit].”
“All essence skills are sealed.”
***
betrayer.
I couldn’t help but feel like my body stiffened at those words and my ears perked up.
Is it a human instinct that has no choice but to form a ‘society’?
‘… It’s a little too late to chase him now anyway.’
Just coolly give up on chasing the body collector here. However, there is a possibility that you may have been tricked, so a warning was given.
“If it’s nonsense, it’s going to end up pretty painful.”
It wasn’t an empty warning, and fortunately, the sincerity seed to have reached the other person as well.
“… It’s all natural. It’s okay though! “Because it’s not a lie!”
“Then try it.”
Without further ado, I got straight to the point. Vivien, as if she knew my personality, swallowed her saliva and then got straight to the point.
“Arua Raven! “That wizard, your forr colleague, is a traitor!”
Haha, Raven was a traitor… .
As soon as I heard it, my hand held the hamr tightened.
Of course, it wasn’t because I felt betrayed or anything like that.
“You wasted your ti.”
Do you think I gave up the chase just to listen to this bullshit?
Okay, if you resolve it quickly and follow through now—.
“I am! “I saw it myself!”
What are you looking at?
I thought it was a waste of ti to listen to more of that nonsense, but to my surprise, the woman’s mouth was moving faster than my hamr was moving.
“When the Imperial Capital Karnon is burning! You said that clearly while looking at that woman? She said, ‘I never thought I would be betrayed like this… ‘!”
“… “Do you take dicine or sothing?”
“Oh no! I know it will look weird! But… Wow! Wait a minute! Put down the hamr! “Because I can explain.”
“10 seconds.”
“…yes?”
“9 seconds, 8 seconds… .”
I completely ignored it and started counting the seconds. Vivien, who understood what he ant, urgently began to make the final statent.
“Oh, I don’t know if your brother knows, but he used [Future Poetry], a level 1 dark magic technique. ah! Of course, I wasn’t able to do it alone, but I was only able to succeed with the help of many other warlocks and trendous support… ”
“I guess I’ll just have to get to the point.”
“It was a spell used to predict the success or failure of this project, and the spell ended in failure! “I saw Karnon burning, but I didn’t see the most important scene of the regicide, and I only saw random scenes!”
“… Are you saying that was the scene where Raven betrayed ?”
“Yes! That’s right! That’s why I said I saw it myself!”
Hmm… .
I think it might be worth listening to this a little more.
“Additional 30 seconds.”
“… No, is it real?”
“So we gave them ti to convince us whether it was real or not.”
“… You want to prove that what I say is true in 30 seconds? “By what ans… ?”
Um, well?
“You should think about it.”
Well, if I don’t get an answer even after ti passes, I just have to prove gender equality with a hamr.
As I slowly count the numbers with that mindset, silence continues for a while. It seems like they had no idea how to convince him in 30 seconds…
“15 seconds have passed.”
Vivian’s mouth opened when the ti limit was halfway over.
“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t prove it.”
“ten.”
“Maybe if you give ti.”
“nine.”
“I could never do it in 30 seconds.”
“eight.”
“So, at that ti.”
“seven.”
“I want to tell you.”
“six.”
“I’ll just tell you why you shouldn’t kill .”
“oh?”
Maybe it’s because he’s a wizard, but his judgnt is amazing.
“That’s an impressive judgnt. “It’s an extra 15 seconds.”
It was annoying to count every second, so from then on I just kept track of ti in my head, and in the anti, Vivien’s winning moves continued quickly.
“Are you planning to go to the Barbarian Shrine now? “I can take you there without making any noise.”
“I’m confident I can go alone.”
Of course, it may be a little noisy in the process.
There is no reason to create variables and get help from a woman who was his enemy.
As Vivien maintained that attitude, as if she had expected it, she imdiately ca up with the following proposal.
“communication.”
“…?”
“If I’m here, I can drop on the leaders’ communications.”
“Hmm… .”
“It would be helpful to just know the overall movent, right? “I’m not just talking about the strategic aspect, but because you’ll be able to know right away when sothing happens to your colleagues.”
“… .”
“That’s it. “If you say this is not necessary, there is nothing more I can offer.”
Yes, that’s right.
“So… “What are you going to do?”
Although she spoke boldly, I could sense that she was very scared at this mont.
After all, who could be so aloof in the face of death?
There is nowhere else in this world.
Knowing that, I was also greatly influenced by his choices at the ti.
“It’s on hold for now.”
Since I couldn’t stay here forever, I carried Vivian like a piece of luggage and headed toward the castle wall.
I was thinking of going back and discussing it with Raven first.
But before that, I need to say this clearly.
“The story of that traitor.”
“yes?”
“Don’t tell that to anyone. “Do you understand?”
“Yes yes! Of course! “How heavy is my mouth!”
It’s heavy.
As soon as he is in danger of death, he blurts out confidential information that was not even asked. When I returned, I saw Raven and Astarotta waiting for in front of the slightly opened castle gate.
“Mr. Yandel!”
“This place has been sorted out so far?”
“It has to be that way. “As soon as Mr. Yandel chased them away, most of the corpses lost their strength.”
Um, maybe you were so busy running away that you couldn’t control it?
I don’t know, but as soon as I finished briefly saying hello, Raven’s eyes moved to my shoulder.
“But she’s that woman…” . She’s him, right?”
“Oh, it’s a sphere, right?”
“She would have known even if she wasn’t spherical.”
“Ahaha… Hello? It’s been a while. Sister… ”
“… Sister?”
“Uh? Isn’t it? “I understand that Yandel is older than her brother… ?”
Raven was speechless for a mont due to the bold question.
“… Call by my last na. “I have never allowed you to call by that na.”
“Ahaha… I understand. Mr. “Raven.”
Since it was not sothing to be said in a place where the surroundings were clearly exposed, we went into a nearby building to discuss the details.
There wasn’t much to explain at length.
I caught him while chasing a body collector.
He convinced that he could be of help.
If you exclude the story about the traitor, it ultimately boils down to these two lines.
“So you’re worried? Should I use this woman or should she just make it clean?”
“Uh. “I was curious about your opinion, so I brought him back alive for now.”
“Hmm… Then, shall we first check what I have set out as a condition?”
Raven approached Vivien.
“You said you had access to Noark’s higher-level communication network, right? Look, look. “Maybe you have already lost access.”
“… hehe, that won’t happen, right?”
“So, please confirm.” “I need to know how important information is being exchanged.”
“great.”
In response to Raven’s request, Vivian took out a black crystal ball and connected to the communication network without saying anything, and the communication network worked normally.
but… .
[The Lord’s Words.]
“What are they saying now?”
“It’s a military password. “Even the Ministry of Intelligence won’t be able to interpret it properly yet?”
“Sohow…” I heard it was so easy to connect to the communication network. “Did you think I wouldn’t be able to kill you even if I showed you right away?”
“You’re not that stupid, are you?”
“Okay, let’s interpret it. “What are you saying?”
“They say they are observing signs of a concentration of royal troops at point 5-3… ?”
As Vivien spoke, Raven and I quietly t our gazes.
Well, I knew as soon as I heard where 5-3 was.
Because I asked you to move the troops tomorrow morning to attract attention.
‘Eavesdropping… could it be of so use?’
Still, we had to check performance, so we asked them to interpret the radio signals they kept hearing.
“Request for support for small-scale battle at point 13-2.”
“Request for reinforcent of security forces at point 5-1.”
“13-2 points cleared, 31 enemies killed.”
“Points 4-7… huh?”
Vivien, who had been interpreting the radio signal like a translator, suddenly flinched.
“What is it about?”
When I took a step closer and asked him not to think about anything else, Vivien opened her mouth with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“2 El intruders found at points 4-7.”
“What do you an? “Why did you flinch a mont ago?”
Vivien answered my question carefully.
“4-7 ans District 4… I think the two intruders… are Mr. Yandel’s colleagues.”
“… Then what about El?”
“Ricardo Luchenprague. It’s a word that ans our leader oppa… .”
Nimiral.
