Knot(17)

“An agenda about fastness? No, did you mean Peisha Grisburn died before that?”

Even the members who were talking about a different topic turned their attention to the news that Peisha had fought and lost.

Not only the drunken Vernon, but also the doctor, who was watching the situation, showed interest.

“That gamble-crazy woman was defeated by the dog. This is pretty interesting news.”

“You were a famous prostitute in the center, right? A big man like him alone to a crazy wizard… … .”

“joy… … To die fighting is a noble death that goes against the subject.”

Maiya, who was silent among the others whispered, sneered.

“That grumpy madman should have sold his organs and died while gambling.”

“… … .”

Peisha’s notoriety and disposition must have been quite widely known on the central front, and the reaction to her death was particularly strong.

Hearing about Lennok’s major from other people’s mouths is familiar, but this kind of reaction was also unfamiliar.

Damus’ shoulders twitched at Maiya’s scathing sneer, but he didn’t lose his composure.

“There is no doubt that Peisha’s death was sublime. She died fighting for the Legion to the end, and Command placed her warrior’s grave in her honor.”

Instead, he just nodded slowly with a calm expression.

“But apart from that, it is certain that the power and influence of the fastness have reached a level that cannot be ignored in the Balkans. Apart from suspending the current situation from Command, they will undoubtedly come to similar conclusions.”

Damus, who was looking at the members gathered in the ceremonial space, slowly opened his mouth.

“So, if we were to organize a strategy to subdue the lightning rods in the future, would any members be willing to participate?”

“… … Subjugation of fastness?”

“Is that something you really meant to do?”

Chevienne and Freya, who were present at the meeting at the time, questioned him with an absurd expression, but Damus did not blink an eye.

“As anyone who knows about the Legion knows, we will return to the Balkans and reclaim the city someday. It is the enemy’s longing and the final fruit of an unfulfilled wish.”

“… … .”

“Before the main force moves, I plan to contact the Balkan giants in advance and adjust the words. And no matter how much I think about it, the maniac who can’t communicate… … .”

Damus said, looking around with cold eyes.

“It should be excluded from the plate in advance. That is all.”

It was only then that the members realized that the strategy Damus had proposed was by no means a lie, and fell into thought.

What Damus said now is not just the members of Pandemonium gathering to kill the dog.

You wouldn’t even expect that kind of solidarity or strategy in the first place.

However, do you have any plans to take a step forward in the plans that Dead Rise will take on in the future? Just trying to confirm this in advance.

While leading the 7th Corps to and from the central front without rest, on the other hand, are you drawing a blueprint with Pandaemonium in advance?

I don’t know what level of inaction Damus himself is, but it was clear that his ability was very capable even with the exception of him.

Damus said again, as if he felt he had captured the mood sufficiently.

“Especially Freya and Victor. I want you two to participate in the subjugation operation.”

“me?”

“Lightning is a great wizard who has reached the pinnacle of elemental magic in the pure art world.”

Damus explained the frowning Freyja and the silent Lennok.

“It would not be an exaggeration to say that in an all-out war where power is competing, there are virtually no opponents. He even seems to have a knack for solo combat to the point of winning against a spearman like Peisha on his own.”

“… … .”

“In order to attack such a monster, you need a transcendent wide-area spell like Freya that is not limited to the target, or a special power that goes beyond the standard like Victor.”

Perhaps because he was the commander leading the corps in the field, Damus’ briefing was unstoppable.

A logical persuasion, as if he had already run simulations in his head several times on how to deal with Lennok.

“The avant-garde to receive the lightning magic instead can be recruited from the corps. But special talents like you are hard to find outside of Pandemonium.”

Damos said.

“Meeting people with rare talents that are hard to find even on the continent. That is why I entered the Pandemonium.”

“hmm… … .”

“Other people do too. If anyone is willing to participate in the operation, we promise first-class treatment and conditions in the name of the 7th Corps.”

In a way, Damus’s calm explanation seemed to be indirectly praising the members gathered here.

However, those gathered in the ceremonial space only showed a cold reaction to Damus’ words.

“Okay. Even if you say that, doesn’t that mean you want to use my ability to eat?”

Freyja said as she leaned back on her chair, twisting her hair.

I think every time I see her, she doesn’t seem to know how to sit in a chair normally in the first place.

“I am a much busier and more expensive person than you think.”

There seemed to be a cold sneer in Freyja’s eyes as she looked at Damus.

“I don’t really want to hang out with people who don’t match the level.”

“… … .”

“In the first place, the mage named Kyo-roe has nothing to do with me, so I have no idea why I have to do a strategy with you?”

“Freya. I know you are a world-class diva.”

Despite sharp provocations from Freyja, Damus remained calm.

“Even in the corps I command, you have a lot of fans. Every time you hold a performance, your subordinates who write love songs cause you trouble.”

“whatever?”

“If my offer doesn’t fit your last name, I will buy the time you use for your performance.”

“You’re buying the time of a celebrity, not a Pandaemonium magician?”

Understanding the meaning of those words, Freya smiled.

“good. It’s just fine. I’m going to go on my 12th world tour in a little while.”

“… … .”

“No more, no less, just pay as much as the sales from the last tour. Then I’ll think about it seriously.”

“… … The expected revenue from the Walt Tour.”

“It would be dangerous to participate in the operation, right? You might have to spend a lot of alcohol. Then you might not be able to sing for the entire tour.”

Freya, lying on her back with her arms crossed, nodded.

“If you deal with that crazy wizard, you might get a grudge, but isn’t this kind of risk distribution natural?”

He must have thought it was something he would actually risk his life to do, so asking for it not to interfere with his job was a reasonable request at first glance.

However, Damus could not easily nod his head at Freya’s words and remained silent.

Maiya, who was watching from the side with a cold expression, shook her head.

“Unlike the commander of the Corps of Dead Rise, he is indecisive. In short, if you give me money, I will move you, but why are you hesitating?”

“My, that’s not it.”

The doctor laughed, wriggling a ball of white fur.

His voice, too, was strangely deep, as if it were very interesting.

“Because I am the commander who leads the group, I know how absurd Freya’s request is… … . Rather, it should be the result of experience and age.”

“I have no idea what you mean.”

“Doesn’t that mean that there are no people here who are well versed in art?”

The doctor gasped at the two of them.

“Well, the point was that the amount wouldn’t be trivial enough that even the commander of Dead Rise would be hesitant to spend it.”

“… … .”

When Freyja opens a concert for the whole continent, the expected profit seems to be more than expected.

Lennok has never been very interested in art activities in this world, so he has no relevant knowledge.

While thinking about how much money would be needed to hire Freya through Darby later, the doctor said to Damus.

“Damus, don’t stop there.”

He said, laughing through his white hair.

“I wouldn’t care how you take advantage of these idiots, but the time isn’t great for intervening in the Balkans. You must know what kind of position the dog-roe has built in that city now, right?”

“… … .”

“Gyeol, as soon as the mage tower is built, we are recruiting mages to work, and we are supplying items throughout the city in partnership with various businesses.”

Professor Raphael cautiously opened his mouth.

“Apart from the notoriety he has unofficially built up, the reaction to related projects is very good. You will have a very talented person by your side.”

“Professor Raphael, go ahead.”

The professor, who noticed Hirea, hurriedly expressed his opinion.

“If the tower’s business is hindered at a time like this, it’s only natural that the city council might step in… … Hmmmm, I hope you keep this a secret.”

“Did you hear?”

said the doctor, moving a ball of hair and shrugging his shoulders.

“It’s not going to end just by killing one lightning rod. Considering the economic loss or interest in the Balkans, the Mage Tower should be maintained for the time being. At least the Balkan City Council is hoping for that.”

“Know.”

Damus nodded.

“But that’s something that can be resolved by finding someone to take charge of the tower’s management in place of the dog, entrusting him with the task, and making a deal with the city council.”

“hmm.”

In an instant, the doctor’s voice turned cold.

“Was it that hard to understand what I was saying?”

A mock ceremony space that was coldly settled down at once.

However, despite the doctor’s cold reply, Damus’ reaction did not change.

In the first place, his will and opinion were too firm to bend to the opponent’s direct or indirect pressure or persuasion.

A resolute response, as if willing to take on a conflict and stick to one’s opinion, if necessary.

Looking at Damus like that, Lennok was lost in thought.

‘how will we do it… … .’

If necessary, you can convince the other members of Damus’s opinion and proceed with the operation.

Conversely, Damus’s opinion could be cut down on the spot and ignored.

As much as he had heard of the situation from the beginning, intervening itself was not difficult using Lennok’s experience and knowledge.

The problem was how Lennok dealt with this issue as a class.

If the members of Pandemonium participate in the operation and try to subdue the dog, Lennok has no intention of leaving his hand.

There would be no need to discuss such a relationship in this sand-like organization created with the assumption of each other’s self-indulgence and betrayal.

However, making a plate with Lennok’s hand directly was a completely different matter.

Although the situation has changed a lot from when Lennok first joined, Pandemonium still has meaning and value in many ways.

Even if it is not a disparate monster like a doctor or Maya, Damus’s words that there are unusual talents that are not easily seen are not wrong.

“… … .”

It was ironic. Because of the logic Damus put forward to convince him to subdue the dog, he felt compelled to stop the operation.

I didn’t like or feel comfortable with this organization called Pandaemonium, but it still needs to be maintained.

At least until the leader makes a direct move.

Lennok thought so and opened his mouth.

“I had a few conversations with Myeong before joining Pandaemonium.”

“… … Myeongwang?”

Lennok said, feeling the consciousness of the people suddenly turning towards him.

“They said they were traveling the continent looking for out-of-the-box talents and geniuses.”

“We know that-”

“I was one of them.”

Freyja and other members’ expressions turned grotesque at Lennox’s bold words as his face was covered with a steel plate.

“You bastard, calmly praise yourself… … .”

“A unlucky baby.”

“I used to be such an arrogant guy. Not surprising… … .”

“Hmmmm, you must be a very confident gentleman.”

Ignoring even Professor Raphael looking this way with a strange expression, Lennok said to Damus.

“Among them, Myeong seemed to particularly like fastness.”

“… … .”

“If Myung is still conscious, he might be minding Balkan affairs. Are you ready for that?”

“Ah, that’s right.”

At that moment, Damus nodded.

“Then, the operation will be difficult for the time being. understood.”

“… … .”

Others stared at him at a loss for words at Damus’ answer, whose firm resolve just moments ago had been broken like a lie.

“you… … .”

“Is the king so afraid of you? No, although of course he is a real scary person.”

“The really scary thing is that he got stronger day by day as he traveled around the continent like that. That unusual growth and talent… … .”

“A crazy monster who destroys cities for a hobby. It’s not surprising.”

“hobby?”

At that moment, the doctor suddenly burst into laughter.

The doctor, who was quietly excited by himself, asked, wriggling a ball of hair.

“It’s a hobby. Did you guys also understand gabihaeng that way?”

“… … wasn’t it?”

“No.”

The doctor laughed.

“It is one of the ugliest and noblest rituals on this continent. Of the ceremonies not linked to Ascension, in fact-”

At that moment, the doctor, who was about to answer, stopped talking.

“Oops, I shouldn’t say any more. If I do, people might really come to kill me as a ‘hobby’.”

Leaving the members silent, the doctor turned his gaze to Damus.

“Anyway, I’m glad you understand our position. If I had known you cared so much about Myeong, I would have talked about it from the beginning.”

“… … well.”

Damus replied.

“There’s no reason to go around talking about how that warlock destroyed the 2nd Legion alone.”

“… … .”

“The fact that the commander of the 2nd Corps, who fell at the end of the battle, is still suffering from trauma.”

said Damus, who turned his gaze to Lennok with an expressionless face.

“There’s no reason why you have to talk about it.”

“… … .”

I thought about borrowing Myeong’s notoriety, but I didn’t know that I was involved in such a deep evil relationship with Dead Rise.

Somehow Damus seemed convinced that Lennok had heard the truth directly from Myung.

The misunderstanding should be resolved here, but while Lennok was immersed in his thoughts,

“Dead Rise. You are not the only ones moving to pick up the mistakes of the past.”

Maya said to Damus with a cold expression on her face.

“I don’t care what the center does, but you’ll pay the price if you roll around without washing the filth from the wires.”

“If it’s what the best enforcer in Machine City says, it’s not a lie.”

Damus replied with an expressionless face.

“However, we are not planning this lightheartedly either.”

“… … .”

“Peisha is the sacred bone of the legion that followed from the Balkans to the center, looking at only one enemy. The fact that she was killed right after she returned to the Balkans for her grand succession was a serious limb that could never be taken lightly from the point of view of her headquarters.”

Damus slowly rose from his seat and looked around.

“If at all chance a big man like King Myeongwang moves, the legion will also respond appropriately.”

“What if this is the right response?”

“Simple.”

Damus laughed.

“The enemy will try to deal with King Myung directly.”
