Remnants of Time (1)

National Guard coup.

Two days after the ambition of Edmus Treppen, commander of the Mobile Fortress, ended with a predestined ending.

Agent Deputy Director Palad was sitting in his office, struggling fiercely with incoming calls.

“… … So, didn’t we talk about that part beforehand? As far as this matter goes, I received official approval from the city council… … .”

“Reinforcement is difficult. Right now, with our manpower, it is difficult just to deal with the traces of the National Guard.”

“yes? Some of the city council members want a quick distribution of loot? You mean the mobile fort’s munitions? Why the hell is that?”

bang!!

“X feet!!”

As soon as she put the phone down, Hina, with a bandage wrapped around her head, placed another pile of papers on the desk next to Pallad, who was swearing.

coo!!

“This is the last one. Roughly 200 complaints about the current situation and approval agenda. You can read it all and sign it.”

“Chief, I understand why that woman left her seat and ran away.”

Pallad muttered as he picked up the pen with a haggard complexion.

“Whenever something happens, they’re going to hand it over to us and deal with it… … .”

The agent, who has been active as a spy agency directly under the city government, is a group of superhumans who are relatively free from the prohibition law, and one of the few special forces that can most directly get involved in the shadows of a megalopolis.

Therefore, inside the city government, on-site work and administrative processing of what happened in the outskirts were naturally handed over to the agent.

Until now, whenever this happened, I had been dealing with it with my tips and tricks, but the coup that happened just two days ago was such a serious business that it was impossible to deal with it.

As all the attention of the city councilors was focused on it, it was obvious that if I forgot even a single document, I would be immediately called to the city hall and severely criticized.

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have ignored the lieutenant commander so that he could fire at least one missile into the closed area. Then the prohibition law would be lifted much sooner and we wouldn’t have to suffer like this… … .”

“It’s a very useless and dangerous statement.”

“Is team leader Marcia still out of contact?”

Hina nodded her head obediently.

Palad clicked his tongue in disapproval.

“Are you planning on not even giving an interim report because you took such a long vacation? I think we need to reconsider the integrity of the team leader.”

“You’re not saying this because you don’t know why the team leader went to the North Continent right now, right?”

“know. All the intelligence agencies that should be able to know will know roughly what the problem is… … this.”

“What happen?”

As Hina turned her head, the figure of Palad, who had frozen with a piece of paper in her hand, came into Hina’s gaze.

“Senator Jekyel’s order has been dropped.”

“If it’s Jekyel, that… … .”

The city council, which holds the highest power in the city. Among them, the Senate is a playground for those in power who have lived like nobles for hundreds of years.

Jekiel was the name of a member of the Senate who had a strong faction that was counted among the top three.

“They told me to carefully investigate Ban’s personal information and send it upstairs.”

Pallad muttered, rubbing his forehead.

“It is a direct line. It’s clear that Senator Zekiel is starting to take care of himself.”

“Have you heard about what Van did?”

“Because there were a lot of eyes to see in this case. It must have been rather difficult not to be noticed. But I never thought it would move so fast… … .”

What Lennok did in the operation to capture the mobile fortress did not stop at simply attacking the fortress.

Single-handedly infiltrating the fort, induces the National Guard to fire by mistake, catches up with Lieutenant General Treffen, who runs away using it as bait, and subdues him.

In the process, he completely destroyed a fortress without anyone else’s help, and didn’t come back alive even against the pandemonium he encountered right after.

A feat that feels unrealistic just by listing the previous records of this operation.

The fact that such an order was issued even before the report was sent to the upper ranks proves how seriously the city council took this matter.

“Um… … .”

Pallad, who had been sweating profusely and pondering hard, made a difficult decision.

“The work of the city council should be left to the city councilor.”

“Deputy Director?”

“Let’s toss Senator Mayer.”

“… … .”

Behind Hina’s cold gaze, Pallad picked up the phone, looking for Mayer’s contact information, pretending not to know.

“… … You haven’t been contacted.”

Pallad, sweating profusely, looked up at Hina.

“What do we do?”

“Wouldn’t it be right to contact Van in advance?”

“No, but the problem is… … . I’m not even answering the phone.”

* * *

Big city Balkan.

Among them, District 8, where key administrative facilities are located in the city.

City council member John Mayer sat on a bench in a quiet street.

District intersection where the Korean Intellectual Property Office is located. As it is a place where special administrative agencies that have nothing to do with ordinary people are gathered, it is relatively free from people’s eyes.

It was the perfect place to have a meeting without worrying about the eyes of others.

That’s probably why I was able to meet the wizard here for the first time.

Mayer thought so and recalled the days when he first met Van.

It has been 3 years since I came up to this position with countless desires.

A lot has happened, but Mayer has never once doubted the confidence he had after seeing Van that day.

I believed that with a wizard like that, I could overcome any difficulties without difficulty, so I didn’t hesitate to contact you the moment the opportunity came.

The results were not wrong.

In the end, Lieutenant General Treffen fell without being able to break through the undeveloped district, and in the process, he succeeded in finding other members of Congress who were holding Mayer in check.

Because John Mayer himself formally obtained the position of Congressman, which was only a temporary position.

I’m still in the House of Commons, but it doesn’t matter.

As the person in charge of this case and the one who condemned the other traitors in the Central Council, he has emerged as a hot topic in the Senate.

Mayer remained calm even in the midst of the enormous amount of attention and checks that others felt burdensome.

In order to rise higher than now, to reach beyond the Senate, even this much was not enough.

Today, this place was to inspire confidence in that idea once again.

“I made you wait.”

Whoop!!

Sounds like a slight breeze.

A short distance from Mayer’s bench, a sharp-looking young man was sitting with his chin resting on his chin, looking at him.

A black coat that doesn’t even let out a single ray of light. The tobacco light in his mouth is all that radiates from his body.

The young man’s eyes looking at Mayer while exhaling long smoke felt more profound than anyone he had ever seen.

Mayer gulped and asked.

“Since when have you been here?”

“It hasn’t been long. It’s a bit late to check for tailing.”

Lennox replied with a smile.

“Because it has become difficult for us to meet each other in a place like this.”

“… … yes.”

Mayer nodded heavily.

“But I have a story to tell you, even if I had to set aside some time. Please understand my position of not being able to leave the central area.”

“Is this what happened after the National Guard coup?”

said Lennok, leaning back comfortably on the bench.

“Come to think of it, I was too busy taking care of myself, so I couldn’t hear it properly.”

“I will explain that from now on.”

Mayer said that, and briefly told Lennok what was going on after the failed coup.

All military supplies and mobile fortress resources of the National Guard are distributed under Mayer’s responsibility. More than half of them belonged to Lennok, who had a huge record in this operation.

In addition, Mayer, who ousted and drove internal traitors from the Central Council, officially took over the position of member of the National Assembly.

The Air Force Fleet power, which was sent out to sort out the situation, was moderately dissipated this way and that because it encountered an out-of-control variable.

There were many things that were handled properly in many ways, but it goes without saying how much Mayer had to step out all over the place to make it happen.

Lennok nodded quietly as he listened to Mayer’s explanation.

“I heard the rough circumstances through Jenny. Congratulations on becoming an official member of the City Council.”

“Thank you. I said this, but all these achievements are thanks to you.”

Mayer laughed.

“No matter how much I eloped at the Central Council, it would have been meaningless if I hadn’t dealt with Lieutenant General Treffen in the undeveloped district.”

“… … .”

“That is why I wanted to say it again today. The reason why I want to rise to the top of this city.”

Mayer’s eyes brightened.

“The secret of the black consumer project that happened 50 years ago.”

* * *

Huge city-states created all over the continent. The pinnacle of residential facilities where tens of millions of people live.

The crystallization of civilization built by monsters that surpassed humans.

But someone knew that the glory would not last forever.

The ending coming in a world where the link of cause and effect is closed.

At the point when the sky opens and monsters from the open sea descend, all life and death circulate and the world comes to an end.

The only way to avoid this is to challenge the ascension and rise to a level that surpasses the world.

But there were also those who sought immortality in other ways.

Balkan Central Council. At the time, the very few powerful people who were holding the peak power also could not escape the desire.

“I tried to forcefully buy lifespan and immortality that didn’t exist. It was the city council that did the job, but there were also a lot of superhumans who agreed to the strategy.”

A bad customer who tries to forcefully buy a life. That’s why the Black Consumer project. Half of it was self-deprecating.

“Other cities have done similar things, such as the Gate of Ascension in Machine City Machina and Mangwi Night in Yorta, the military command city, but the project in Balkan is said to be of a different class.”

“Are you saying the class is different?”

“I don’t know the details. I’m just chasing the ghost of that project.”

“… … .”

“However, the way the project progressed was achieved through the grafting of ideas and powers that transcended providence, and it seems that there was an existence that played a key role in the process. In the depths of the Houses of Parliament, which were granted access for their contributions to stopping the coup, I found only one name.”

Lennok nodded, finally understanding why Mayer had taken the time to call him.

Mayer’s biggest goal is to climb to the top of the city and uncover the inside story of the Black Consumer Project.

Lennok, who had made the greatest contribution to this work, felt it necessary to share the information obtained in return.

“Who was it?”

“Alkaid.”

“… … .”

The moment he heard those words, Lennok’s eyes went cold.

The last message left by Chen Gyeon. No matter how hard I tried, I didn’t know that I would hear the name that I couldn’t even catch a trace of.

“It is not clear whether it is an individual or a group. The minutes of the meeting I checked in the hall also had a lot of names erased… … It is clear, however, that the disappearance of that being was a fatal blow to the project.”

Mayer continued, not noticing Lennok’s feelings.

“Because from that time on, infighting broke out among the members. After that, as recorded in the official history.”

Mayer said.

“The project is suspended indefinitely. All of the facilities and traces were buried and kept secret, and the city council began managing them by dividing them into zones to hide their mistakes.”

In this way, each district of the megalopolis was numbered and its purpose was determined.

“Those who supported the city council and those who opposed it were amicably kicked out to the outskirts. What survived was only a few of the neutral armed groups… … Can you guess how many compromises and deals went through before the current order was created?”

“… … okay.”

“I will definitely uncover the secret of this out-of-this-world project. If you can get your hands on the secrets hidden in the deepest part of the megalopolis, then surely… … .”

Lennok was silent as he listened to Mayer’s words.

alkyd.

If an unknown existence that could not even catch its trace existed in the project of the city council 50 years ago,

It must be said that it was not a mere coincidence that Chun-gyeon visited this city just before his death.

The last message left by a transcendent who saw through Lennok’s talent and bondage, the truth of this world.

If even a transcendent who challenges ascension is a being who asks to be vigilant and careful, it would not be strange to say that the danger is comparable to that of the end of the open sea.

‘Maybe, Alkaid isn’t just a name… … .’

Countless speculations and doubts running through my head.

However, instead of thinking for a long time, Lennok shook his head lightly and stood up.

It is a question that cannot be answered right away even if we think about it here. However, it was enough to confirm that Alkaid’s activities overlapped with the project from 50 years ago.

That was enough motivation to relieve Lennok’s hesitation in the process of uncovering the city’s secrets.

“What do you plan to do from now on?”

Mayer said, looking at Lennok who slowly stood up.

“The city council will accelerate discussions to lift the ban. In order to prevent such a situation, you may think that it is necessary to slightly upset the balance of power. We have no reason to stop it.”

“… … .”

“When the ban is lifted, this city will turn into a real mess. The outskirts and the shadow side are no exception.”

It is only natural that the entire city will turn into a huge battle when Yangji’s military power, which was tied up under the control of the city council, begins to be released.

The number of organizations operating inside the Balkans easily exceeds thousands, and the interests intertwined among them do not distinguish between good and bad.

The Balkan City Council intends to use the chaos to filter out the power that exists in the city and increase their control.

The number of lives sacrificed in the process would not be taken into account.

“… … well. I plan to think about it after some time has passed.”

Lennok took out his phone, checked the message on the screen, and sighed lightly.

“I feel like I just had something new to do.”

As if he had just known what Lennok was thinking about Thousand Dogs.

Lapis’s name appeared on the lightly flickering screen… …

As the leader who guides the blue eyes, and as the owner of the lighthouse, bear the karma of the lighthouse keeper.

If she, who had been growing the organization alone for two years without opening her hands to Lennok, contacted her, there would be only one reason.

It’s been three days since the assault on the mobile fortress ended. It wasn’t until about a month after Evelyn Marcia headed to the North Continent Highlands.

Finally, the order to summon the Blue Eye also reached Lennok.
