Chapter 208 - Episode Four - A Certain Fixer's Visit (4) (Side: Peter)

It is not only a matter of how many years Peter spent living by prolonging his life through sorcery, he also spent his life planning the resurrection of the G.o.d Kudor.

He has made connections with large organizations in all fields, and he has access to the king, the church, and the criminal organizations in Dinrat kingdom.

But in the end, he was unable to obtain information that led directly to the G.o.d Kudor, and for a long time he concentrated only on dubious rituals, anecdotes, and myths about the G.o.d Kudor, and corroboration of myths.

However, he noticed that Margus, a subordinate of Peters boss in the extremist Kudorian sorcerers society Amor, was acting suspiciously, and when he learned that he was searching for the staff of the wisdom demon Zolomonia, he deliberately let Margus be, and as a result, used him to obtain Zolomonias staff.

After successfully recovering Zolomonias staff through his own guile and power, Peter learned that the main body of Kudor lay in the eastern-most part of the Kingdom of Dinrat, with the help of Zolomonias wisdom.

The eastern-most part of the Dinrat Kingdom is home to the f.a.ge, which is separated from the eastern part of the Dinrat Kingdom by a mountain range, and is home to the Riveras Nation.

When Peter learned that Marias, a servant of the Riveras Nation, had been involved in an incident, he visited Baron Lark to hear the story of the Marias fiasco in person as part of his investigation of the G.o.d Kudor.

Peter went to the dungeon to check on the imprisoned Levi follower, and sat down with his men in the prison keepers lounge on the upper floor of the dungeon, and told the Village Chief Heil, who was guiding him, to summon Abel.

After Chief Heils departure, Peters subordinate, the sorceress Myunhi, whispered, Clear white skin, white hair and red eyes the Marrens still existed, dont they?, she said.

Generally, the past Marren tribe neglected to keep in contact. The war was in the middle of a calm period, and the Royals didnt seem to be looking for them very hard.

Peter narrowed his eyes as if reminiscing about the old days and said, somewhat dumbfounded.

You were misled into thinking that they had long since perished due to a misunderstanding due to lack of communication. I know that the Marrens were a hidden force in the Kingdom of Dinrat in times past, but they were not a very diligent bunch.

Peter gave a small shake of his head.

Those boys are convinced that they are closer to their own people and dont want to get involved with people outside. When it comes to sorcery, they are far ahead of the Norks, and are considered the High Elves of the earth, but they are so much more like fellows.h.i.+p-oriented and naive that they dont know what to do or something.

Hmm

The whole family is a commie, or rather

Hmmmm

They dont make eye contact with outsiders, they whisper and whisper, and when they visit the village, they are looked at strangely all day long, so when the tribes expert contact person retired at the age of 20, they must have been completely deprived of contact with the royal family. If there are records from that time, Im sure there are people who didnt want to go to the village and wrote something vague to cover it up.

Hmmmmmmm

Myunhi regrets inwardly that she shouldnt have listened to the reality of the Marren tribe, which is said to have supported the Dinrat kingdom from the shadows during the world war a long time ago.

An awkward atmosphere was spreading in the waiting room.

White hair and red eyes, huh

One of Peters men spilled out.

It was Margus, who had been beaten up one-sidedly by Abel over the Zolomonias staff.

Hearing the word white hair and eyes, he remembered what happened at that time. He never dreamed that that Abel would be on his way to them right now.

Its almost time for this Abel guy to arrive. Im going to go outside to see whats going on.

Myunhi bowed to Peter and put her hand on the door of the waiting room.

Abel Huh. The boy should be treated politely.

Yes?

Myunhi stopped and looked back at Peter.

Ive been thinking of taking that kid as my subordinate if he looks interesting. Ive heard that shes very skilled and has a pretty face

Peter stuck out his venomous red-purple tongue and smiled eerily.

Yes, I understand. Peter-sama.

Myunhi bowed her head again, closed the door, and went to meet Abel.

It wasnt long after that that Myunhi returned with Abel, the hero of the f.a.ge territory, and a young girl from the Doom tribe.

Peters impression of Abel was that he was a beautiful young man with a rather neutral face.

As if on high alert, Abel looked around the room as soon as he entered, with a probing look, and then quickly fixed his gaze on Peter.

(Ive been told that hes quite skilled at magic and doesnt seem to be conceited about it. Im sure that when I was that young, I would have been a little more imposing, thinking that I had no enemies in the world. Im not sure if this is because Im not just a member of the church? Whether its good instincts, the nature of not being proud or just being timid)

Peter was looking at Abel and measuring his vessel.

Im Peter. Youre here at last. Are you the hero of this territory?

He called out inquiringly.

Abels eyes twitched slightly.

He turned his attention to Zolomonias staff held by Peter, then quickly s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Peters back.

Zolomonia, the demon of wisdom, can be seen by anyone who has ever owned the staff.

Abel was looking at just where Zolomonia was standing.

(Can this kid see Zolomonia?)

If so, it is very likely that he is somehow involved in the Zolomonias staff incident caused by Margus.

(We havent heard anything from Zolomonia, but its probably best not to ask too many questions. Zolomonia is difficult to handle and wont help you with anything she doesnt feel like doing. If you displease her, you wont be able to get any information about the G.o.d Kudor, who is being sorely missed.)

Even after Peter got the staff of Zolomonia, he asked him various questions about the G.o.d Kudor, demons, and sorcery, but only a few of them were answered.

Not because she didnt know, but because she thought it would be boring to tell him simply.

The most important question about the resurrection of the G.o.d Kudor was answered in a verse in a language he had never heard of, and although he has spent a great deal of time and effort deciphering its content, he still understands only about 10% of it.

(I dont know the details of the staff fias...o...b..cause Margus doesnt want to talk about it much and Zolomonia is not happy about it, but there is no shortage of suspicious rumors about Gaston, the adventurous upstart knight who was supposed to have gotten his staff back directly, and even if that white boy was involved. Its not suspicious. Margus is also suspicious after seeing that little guy )

Margus has been blatantly upset since he saw Abel, shaking and stepping on the ground, glancing at the doorway, and blatantly wanting to leave.

(Youre a wanderer with enough chivalry and magic skills to help out the village youre stopping at. Its not that I dont like kids like that, but they dont seem like the type of people who would agree with what Im doing. On top of that, if he is likely to be involved with Zolomonias staff, hes going to be a problem if left unchecked. We dont know how long it will take to get the G.o.d Kudor, and its a pain in the a.s.s to be interrupted.)

Um, who the h.e.l.l are you

Abel anxiously calls out to Peter.

He seemed to be wondering about Peters condition, which was clearly not straightforward.

He pressed his lips together with a finger and smiled elegantly.

Dont be so nervous now. I simply came to congratulate you, as a member of the Churchs upper echelon, on your capture of the infidels.

Then he stretched out his venomous red tongue and licked.

(Id better look at him a little more If I cant draw him in, I guess Its better to kill him in here. He seems like an interesting kid, so its a bit of a waste.)

Despite pretending to be friendly, Peter was willing to kill Abel if the recruitment did not work.

( But then again, what is wrong with this kid, staring at me? Its not quite the same as before )

Before long, Abels gaze had changed slightly in kind.

A probing gaze, no doubt. But it seemed to Peter that it was changing color from caution to curiosity.

Um, Peter-san. That skin was reshaped, wasnt it? Isnt that right?

Abels face suddenly brightens, and he approached Peter with familiarity as if he were an old friend.

There is an unconcealed curiosity in his eyes, and he quickly closes the distance to Peter with a fluttering hand.

As expected, even Peter was taken aback and opened his mouth.

Peter, who more than 200 years ago united both the Church and the Anti-Royalist organizations, continued to acc.u.mulate achievements in many match pumps, controlling the Church, controlling the royal family, and making the kingdom his own.

Even after gaining the body of an immortal and never appearing, he continued to reign in the shadows of the royal family.

Peters own magical power was also overwhelming, and even those who did not know what he was up to were often frightened by the overwhelming pressure he exerted.

In the last hundred years, no one had ever been so rude to Peter without any particular malice.

Immediately, Peters men moved in unison.

Most of Peters men were fascinated by him, and even those who were not were terrified of him.

To them, Peter was an absolute presence that could not be defied.

It was impossible for them to tolerate Abels overly impertinent att.i.tude.

Myunhi first came around to Abels side and held him by the shoulders with his large stone staff.

If he made any suspicious movements, she would strike him on the head and kill him immediately.

I told you so much that you refrain from saying disrespectful things to Peter-sama!

Myunhi reveals her anger in a matter-of-fact manner.

At the same time, her other two subordinates also came around and surrounded Abel from three directions.

No, no, Im purely

During this period, Abel was glancing at Peter for help, as if saying, I didnt anything bad at all, though.

Peter was stunned and amazed at Abels knowledge of magic.

(That boy noticed that I have an immortal body. Its so boring to have an accusation made against me, so I took the trouble to camouflage it, and youre able to see it from this distance with just a few glances. This is more than I imagined.)

He seemed to be more like an alchemist type than a combat specialist.

I took Abels nature as being superior in skill and depth of understanding than in the size of his magic power and the power of his sorcery.

Although limited, I was supposed to have gained an immortal body and trained for a long period of time, but I fell behind in my specialty of magic against the young man.

If Peters capacity was small, he would have been angry and even jealous, unable to admit this fact.

But Peter, who controls the royal family and even unites a country, albeit indirectly, is not affected by such emotions, but calmly a.s.sesses the current situation and a.s.sesses Abels worth.

Its okay, let him go. Ive even covered myself in insurance, and you recognized it just from one look, youre quite an interesting kid.

Peter had realized one thing in that exchange.

That is, Abel is not just a hero.

Um, Peter-san. That skin was reshaped, wasnt it? Isnt that right?

[Note: I didnt repeat this sentence intentionally. This was what is written in the raw.]

Transforming oneself into an immortal body is considered forbidden in any legitimate country.

Thats why Peter had to leave the stage.

But Abel is curious and happily inquires about it.

(This boy sounds more like someone from my side.)

Abel can be drawn in.

Convinced of this, Peter bit the tip of his tongue and smiled.
