It Is Getting Dark

20 – Upheaval (2)

The words of Cassius definitely made my heart flutter.

But at the same time, concerns followed.

I don’t know how to manage the territory, and to be honest, I wasn’t in a situation where I could manage the territory right now.

In the end, there is only one conclusion.

I needed someone.

People who can move according to my will.

Even if I give up the territory right away and leave for the ecliptic, the only thing I can care for is the princess and her escort knight.

To be honest, considering their status, not one of them is too much trouble.

In the end, even if I went to the ecliptic, I needed people in the Mage Tower and Church to watch and manage their condition.

In that case, it is better to gather people first, even if it takes time.

The current situation is urgent, but that doesn’t mean there’s no way for me to move right away.

Just like before, you have to do what you have to do and what you can do at the same time.

I had no choice but to gather people and manage them at the same time.

Of course, that didn’t mean all the problems were solved.

The biggest problem is my chronic illness, Suspicious Disease.

Can I trust those people when they said that they had to gather people?

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t imagine trusting and relying on someone.

I need to create an organization that can move while hiding my identity.

I thoroughly hide behind a mask, give orders, act on my behalf, and have an organization that I can cut off when I want.

The road has been decided.

All that remains is to move forward.

I went to Cassius and told him.

After reaching a certain conclusion, my steps became a little easier.

“Brother, please give me some money to go on a trip.”

And for some reason, Cassius struck me with a sword sheath.

* * *

When I asked Cassius for money, he suddenly beat me with a sword sheath, asking what kind of trip I was on and what kind of accident I was going to.

I don’t know why my image fell like this, but it was unfair.

There were no problems caused by me?

Of course I couldn’t say that to Cassius.

When Cassius suddenly asked what kind of trip it was, he said that he would come and go for a change of mood since he couldn’t reveal the truth.

Cassius asked me back if the diversion was something he had to do himself.

I didn’t have anything to say, so I stayed still and took out a bag of money with a sigh.

At the same time, what he said to me was to not come after an accident.

Until I said yes, Cassius didn’t pay me.

So I nodded to Cassius, and he eventually gave me the money.

For some reason, I think I played with him, but at least I didn’t lie.

It’s already been an accident, not going to pay for it.

Rather, I’m on my way to fix it.

As we left the Marquis Family, Maria followed us.

I hadn’t originally planned to bring it, but as I said I was going on a trip, the train came up to go to the eastern destination of Dwargon.

Then Maria said that she wanted to ride her train too, and she wondered if it was okay to take her.

At first, it was a negative opinion, but when I thought about it, it seemed like it would be okay.

When we arrive, Maria tells her to stay at the inn and I can go looking for people.

And it’s good to have someone to work for when you’re in a hurry.

If it’s Maria, she will follow my words without asking why.

Now, what about the train?

Dwargon is a multi-tribal united kingdom.

There are also dwarves within that race, and it is their work.

If most of the countries including Empire are in the Middle Ages, it is the only country on the continent where steampunk is mixed.

Of course, in terms of technological prowess, Dwargon should have already conquered the world, but according to mythology, the machine god who gave them knowledge had a strict order not to start a war with the knowledge that had been handed down.

So there was no case of attacking first even if there was an invasion due to the cognitive setting.

Well, it’s all bullsh*t.

It was made for the sake of adults trying to sell the characters of the steampunk world.

What I was really curious about was, if the gods in mythology existed, what would happen to their relationship with the ruler?

In the meantime, Maria’s voice broke my thoughts.

“Brother. The streets are amazing!”

It was strange that only my throat hurt from the acting.

“Boss, over there, the wagon is moving without a horse!”

I sighed.

I’m sorry, but I got tired of watching it.

Even the ones I’ve seen are much better.

And that one doesn’t even have a seatbelt, so you have to risk your life to ride it.

“Maria. Aren’t you tired of screaming like that all the time?”

“hehehe, but it’s my first time outside the territory.”

Happiness filled Mary’s face as she spoke with a smile.

It was funny to see that innocent attitude.

Yes, no matter what the purpose is, isn’t it a trip?

I, like her, should enjoy the journey as much as possible.

Nothing will change just because I care right now anyway.

I also followed Maria and opened the carriage window to get some fresh air.

Coming to think of it, it was also the first time I rode a carriage.

Are you sure nothing will happen this time?

Varen heard that Hartz was in the kingdom of Engel, so he was on a train going from Dwargon West to East.

Somebody opened the door and entered the compartment with no one but Baren.

After that, I looked around and sat down in the seat next to Baren.

Her eyes of her baren passed her a glance, then her baren opened her mouth towards her.

“Erisnya.”

“Then, who will sit next to the backside who can’t even control his strength? Because I’m sitting next to you If you hit it by mistake, you’ll die.”

“Go away.”

Varen showed her her middle finger.

“Hey, but before you left, you said there was Hartz in Engel Kingdom. Who the hell did you hear that from?”

“Why is that?”

“Among the items brought up to the church today, there was a story about the kingdom of Engel.”

Baren was taken aback by Eris’ words.

“Are you a river flower?”

“Yes. How the hell did you know?”

Baren smiled and looked at his face before she said.

“Don’t teach me. Stupid b*tch Ask your whole life. Teach me.”

Eris poured all the swearing she knew about her on Baren.

Baren turned her head away and covered her ears, ignoring Eris’ words.

When she confirmed that Eris was tired, she asked her.

“By the way, are you okay?”

“Are you okay? The stupid monk detonated the bomb. Why do you say that in front of all the bishops?”

“Is it possible that Notice knows the story?”

“If I said no, that would be a miracle.”

Varen also nodded and said.

“It must be because of the Interfering Witch, right?”

“Yeah, I haven’t been able to find out who planted it yet. I can’t get it out of her mouth because I don’t know who it is.”

“Incompetence is still the same.”

“What?!”

Eris cursed at Baren again.

After spitting out for a while, Eris took a deep breath and asked Baren.

“But will you be okay? The train runs only within Dwargon, so you can only take it to the east, but you have to pass through the Duchy of Lorraine to get to the Kingdom of Angel.”

“I don’t think you are. Can’t you stand that much?”

At Baren’s words, Eris laughed.

“Poop. You said you would never lift a sword again, and you couldn’t stand it and broke your oath.”

“Crazy b*tch. It was like I was trying to fix something you guys bought and lost!”

It was unfortunate for Baren.

“I pretend to be strong alone. On the subject of not being able to do anything without a sword.”

But Eris had no reason to understand.

Eris’ provocation succeeded for the first time.

Varen shook her hand.

“In my heart, I really want to kill him.”

“Kill it. You said you wouldn’t touch civilians. Kick”

“Oh. Really.”

Eventually, Varen turned her head first.

“So how are you going to get Hartz? I heard that the crown prince has it.”

“That’s it, just kill it like you always do and take out the sword.”

“This is crazy. Didn’t you touch civilians?”

“What are you talking about? Why is the crown prince a civilian?”

Eris looked at Varen, unable to keep her mouth shut.

“This is completely free.”

“Don’t say sh*t, go away when you’re done talking.”

“Do you still have something to say?”

“Then hurry up and turn off.”

“I picked up a wandering guy, raised him, and taught him how to use his abilities. Ugh.”

Eris shook her head and expressed her displeasure.

“Did you do it? Did you teach Come to think of it, even back then, you only interfered by the side.”

“You don’t know, but that’s all part of training.”

“Oh. Really get lost!”

“Okay. Then I’m just going to say this. While Nyx goes looking for Hartz, he also wants to find the witch.”

“Are you thinking of taking out the River Flower?”

“No, I think it was because of his ability.”

“What is your ability?”

“Blood blood.”

Unlike when she had just made fun of Baren, Eris said dryly that she was becoming a nuisance now.

Blood blood.

As for the ability to manipulate blood, it was definitely a dangerous ability.

“Find me and bring me?”

“No, find it first before the cult finds it, and only ride it on trains heading from east to west. I’ll send someone from this side too. Just burn it and we’ll steal it before Notice intervenes.”

“Someone is coming.”

“Auropea.”

“Really?”

“Then it must be fake.”

Baren sighed at Eris’ words.

“Then I’ll go.”

After Eris had said that, she fell down with her head bowed like a doll that had snapped even if her body was a thread.

Then, from her mouth.

“Why am I here?”

A completely different voice came out from the one she used to talk with Baren.

Baren pretended she didn’t know anything and she looked outside the train.

The woman wondered and looked at Baren, who was sitting alone, but when Baren didn’t respond, the woman held her head as if dizzy and moved her car.

In the room, Baren was left alone again, deep in thought.
