Chapter 92.2: Task
After the agenda prepared by the Overlord was over, so Lords also brought up personal agendas, and further discussions took place.
I kept my nerves high throughout the eting, wondering what the Overlord was going to order , but…
“Okay, this eting ends with this!”
The eting ended there.
The Overlord announced the dissolution without entrusting with any work until the end.
…What?
I couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder.
I thought she was going to make do sothing at this eting.
I suddenly beca hopeful that she wouldn’t give a task until the next eting in a year.
Then the Overlord’s eyes t mine.
She smiled at and opened her mouth.
“Ah, Seventh Lord, will you stay? I have a story I want to share with you for a while.”
…So, it ca.
At that, the other lords cast their eyes at the Overlord and with a puzzled look.
They probably wondered what the two of us would talk about that we couldn’t bring out in the eting. And I was wondering the sa thing.
After the other Lords went out of the eting room, the only ones left were , the Overlord, and the chief of staff.
Soon she put her clasped hands on her lap and spoke.
“There is sothing I want to entrust to the Seventh Lord personally.”
“…”
“The master of the Flaveros Magic Tower, Ankh Gaindera. The Seventh Lord knows his na, right?”
A fairly unexpected person jumped out, so I quietly narrowed my brows.
Master of the Magic Tower of Flaveros?
Santea’s greatest mage force, the Magic Tower.
Here, the Magic Tower was not just a single tower, but a na that referred to three towers.
Among them, the Flaveros Magic Tower ntioned by the Overlord was not the main tower, but the Magic Tower that corresponded to one of the two sub-towers.
The three masters of the Magic Tower represented Santea and were renowned archmages on the continent, so it was impossible not to know them.
Also, if it was Flaveros’ tower master, he was a person who I especially rembered with certainty, because…
“I’ve been getting so pretty crazy news lately from the informants I’ve planted there. What do you think it is?”
I could guess what the Overlord was going to say.
Because there was only one thing that could be called ‘crazy information’ about Flaveros’ Magic Tower master.
“The Flaveros’ tower master is secretly conducting research on the demons by capturing the demons himself.”
…Was it like that?
Then the chief of staff ca closer to and handed sothing.
A few papers. It was the information about Flaveros’ tower master that the Overlord just talked about.
The approximate circumstances of the study of demons, the material resources used in it, the estimated scale of sacrificed lives, and other things, etc. were all written in detail.
I skimd the notes, then stared at the Overlord.
What mattered now was why she brought this up to .
“What are you trying to say?”
And what followed was quite beyond my expectations.
“I want the Seventh Lord to kill him. Of course, don’t make a big fuss and do it as quiet as you could.”
I sighed inwardly, remaining expressionless.
Assassination.
In a word, she wanted to assassinate Flaveros’ tower master.
“Why?”
I asked, without hiding my doubts.
Because I really didn’t know. Why was she suddenly asking this?
From what she said, I could understand that research on demons was a trigger, but why did she care about that?
The Overlord replied.
“That’s because they’re demons. It’s not sothing that idiots who are blinded by greed can touch easily. Who knows when it will explode? It’s better to deal with this ticking ti bomb quickly.”
“So, I’m asking why you care about sothing that has nothing to do with Calderic?”
I know very well that demons were extrely dangerous beings.
What I didn’t understand was why she cared about the damage that this would cause Santea.
But she didn’t answer my question and just smiled.
“I can still give you an absolute command for two tis, right? I don’t think it’s too difficult, given the ability of the Seventh Lord.”
“…”
I thought for a mont.
Even in the ga, the Overlord had always been this way.
Not even once did her true intentions or inner thoughts ca out clearly, and she always behaved erratically.
I even thought it might be a trap, but the chances of that happening were very slim.
Why would she even deal with out of the blue using a trap?
But she could have already decided to deal with because of the last ergency call… No, that couldn’t be the case.
She didn’t decide to deal with on her own territory, but instead send to Santea for to fall into a deadly trap. It’s absolutely nonsensical.
Assassination…
Anyway, even if her purpose was unknown, it wasn’t that bad for .
It was because Flaveros’ tower master was a villain who had to be dealt with soday, anyway.
As the Overlord said, because of the atrocities he was carrying out, a great disaster would happen soday.
It’s sothing that should be done sooner rather than later. Plus, the number of commands of the Overlord that I must absolutely follow would decrease by one.
The question was whether it would be possible to deal with Flaveros’ tower master—a level 90 archmage covertly.
Even if I think I could do it sohow, assassination was another area.
But there was no option to refuse, anyway.
After quickly recalling the information about him in my head, I asked the Overlord, who was staring at .
“When is the deadline?”
“There’s no need to rush. You just have to bring in the result until the next eting.”
So, a year.
I nodded and got up from my seat.
If it’s that long, then I could do anything.
