Boom!

The thick sack of the axe sword struck Zephyrin in the back of the head. It was not someone who hit, but what happened was that he bent over to Murka.

"Ugh!"

Looking at Zephyrin, who was holding her head in the back, Murkah felt frustrated and punched her in the chest.

There was no way to know where this was rolling in and blurring the discipline of the 3rd Army.

"Sorry, boss!"

"If you're sorry, your mercenary life is over....

"Oh, it's Lord Jean Looncandel!

Zephyrn looked at Jean with his eyes glistening.

Jin and Murakan felt strange that this rather silly-looking young woman might be a demon dragon.

However, Murakan was carefully smelling the scent that was coming from her.

Murakan, how can you be so slow? Oh, yeah. He's a no-nonsense guy, you know.

I don't think I'm gonna hear that from you.

Doesn't he smell anything?

A conversation between Murakan and Quikantel at a banquet hall in Geomhwangseong Fortress.

Zephyrin smelled of the blood of a dark, terrible dragon, unrecognizable by the human sensory organs. It also smells like a mixture of different kinds of blood.

Argh!

Suddenly, Murakhan bristled up with a threatening noise.

He smelled something he didn't recognize at the banquet hall. Therefore, Murakhan was about to scratch Zephyrin's face right away with his sharp claws.

"Uh!"

Zephyrn stepped back in a fit of surprise. Murkah understood that it was a sign that Murakan was displeased with her behavior.

"......I'm terribly sorry, Lord Qin. "Mr. Murakhan, you're still looking at the preceding guests and their business, and when it's your turn, your men will tell you."

said Murkah, suppressing the boiling anger as much as possible. Soon he took Zephyrin and disappeared, and in the hallways of the reception room there were only the mercenaries on duty, and only Qin and Murakhan.

"Why did you do that just now? Did you smell what Quikantel said last time?"

"Meow!"

"Transform and talk to people."

Bang!

"Yes, it was the smell. If Quicantel hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it this time because of the smell of perfume.

"What do you think?"

"Do you think she's a demon dragon?"

"Yes."

"Well, like Quikantel said, it could be the smell of weapons.

If Zephyrin were a demon dragon, both of the two meetings so far could not have been a coincidence.

In that case, it occurred to me that the only thing Zephyrn would approach intentionally was Rontelgius's Mar book.

'I want to meet the first rider, is that really just a word?'

According to Murcah, the reason Zephyrin carries an ax sword that cannot be used properly was because of her yearning for Luna.

If she was a pure human being, she would just think that she was a little eccentric, but suddenly she remembered how Luna saved "Orgal's Pendant."

'My sister used to say that she got the pendant by cutting off a horse.'

Pendant obtained by cutting off the horse, Ma book obtained by killing the horse, and Devil Dragon.

There were puzzles that fit together, not just coincidentally. When Jean said this, Murakan nodded and replied:

"Let's just get dressed up and ask ourselves after we've done our business. Are you a demon? I couldn't ask because I was a banquet hall at the time, but I can't because I feel uncomfortable."

"Yes, that would be better. I can't tell you what it is."

"Don't worry, there's a way to check everything. If he turns out to be a demon, you'll find out about your brother's relationship with Rontelgius. Enough until you blow everything you know."

"There's a possibility he's stronger than us, right?

"Where in the world is a dragon stronger than this Murakan......after, yes. Maybe it's because you haven't recovered all your strength yet. Then you have to run, well."

a shrug gin

"By the way, that guy in there, I think it's Looncandel. Jaffirin wants to meet the first rider. Oh my gosh.

"One of the top riders, or their agent. I think it's on the second-tier side.

As conflicts with the senate arose, Joshua would need a force to repair the power he lacked. As the next singer, he needs to show his ability to recruit and rally neutral forces.

'But since the Black Royal Army has been a neutral force for a long time, it can never be embraced at a reasonable price.'

Anyone who is currently meeting with the leader of the Black King could not rule out the possibility of holding such a hand if he came for "possip," not just a request.

The servants of the living brought out some simple refreshments and tea. The two ate it up and waited quietly for the turn to come.

It was around 3 a.m. that the gate of the Black King's reception room was opened.

"See you again tomorrow morning, Black King."

"Okay."

The voice of the Black King and the guest was heard.

The story seemed to be about to continue tomorrow.

The figure outside the drawing-room was covering his whole body with lobes and hoods, and Chin noticed at a glance that he was not Joshua or any other top rider, but their vicarious execution.

He also recognized Jean and Murakan. Then he tried to pass the two men without a word, but Jean first spoke to him.

"Hey."

The lobes stopped and looked back at the gin.

"You were the one, weren't you?"

That's the guy.

A mysterious black knight who tried to kidnap Dante in the banquet hall of the Geomhwangseong Fortress. Jean was convinced that Rob was exactly him.

"I was confused, but I can see for sure when I get close. Chloe users can tell a little when they walk. Should I say there's a signature gesture?"

Chloe is not a commonly used weapon, but Jean has been with Gilly all the time, so she was well aware of its characteristics.

"You think the second-term player is trying to put a pretty big case in? Based on the black knight. Tell me what's going on inside. I have to meet the Black King now, too.

"......you still have a good toothache. There's a black dragon next to you, so you're not afraid of anything."

"Well, it wasn't that different when Murakan wasn't there at the first meeting. If you had gone all the way back then, would you have been able to find this place alive now?

Rob turned back without answering. He judged that he could be wronged with Murakan if he was caught up in dealing with Jin.

"Tell the black knights. I'm always open."

"Black pitches won't be your sword."

"And you too.

When Rob left, the mercenaries on duty signaled to enter the Black King's drawing room.

"Come in."

"Just in case, Murakan."

"What is it?"

"Even if the Black King isn't as polite as you expect, I'll return your chin instead of opening your eyes nicely."You shouldn't say that."

"......Am I a fool?

"Just worried."

"Chet."

The drawing room boasted a vast grandeur, to the extent that such a space was unfolded at the end of the hall, which was not so wide.

Large glass poured out of the impressive ceiling with early morning moonlight and starlight. a dreamy spectacle that does not blend in with the dark profession of mercenaries

Below him, the Black King general, Valcas Kran, sat at his desk and greeted the two.

Amela, a substitute soldier in the Gaffia Islands, Balkas Kran, the leader of the Black King, and Rata Prochi, the leader. One of the top three mercenaries in the world, Amela and Amela are fighting for the top spot.

'Surely, it's a lot more powerful than Rata.'

First impression of Valcas, he seemed taller than Jean even though he was sitting.

Jean didn't know much about him better than the public. So to speak, what legendary majors did he put up before he became a general manager, how great martial arts he built, and roughly what personality he had? I only knew that much.

It was because there was no encounter in the past or in the present life. He is not a person who has a lot of publicly known information.

Valkas Kran. Hmm. That's more romantic than I thought.

Pardon?

Should I say that I care a lot? That's why the Black Kings, the best mercenaries in the world, are generally friendly.

Right.

Except for the family, the problem is that the rest of us are treated only as paying clients or as living meat.

Before finding the Black Mountain Cham, a word came to mind that Talaris had commented on Valkas.

'Is it because of the love of one's subordinates that Zephyrn makes such a mistake and ends up being scolded?'

Or is it because Valcas also suspected Zephyrin and ordered him to watch as much as possible.

It seemed like the latter. care for one's subordinates no matter how much However, the Heukwangdan is also famous for its strong military discipline and sharpness.

Valcas raised his hand and opened his mouth.

"Welcome, Rooncandel's 12th Flagship."

"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Valkas. Thank you for your hospitality."

"You're welcome. "Is the man beside you, a great black dragon?"

Even in a rather profane way of speaking, Murakan nodded silently.

Fortunately, Valcas did not commit any more disrespect.

"Your men have told me so much about you. I guess the memory of escorting you as a young man remains quite a pleasant memory for the Third Army."

"Is that so?"

"And if not necessarily my men, isn't the 12th Runkandel the hottest man in the world now? There's no choice but to talk about it everywhere. I wanted to meet you at least once because I was curious.

Jean and Valcas. The eyes of two smiling men met.

For some reason, Jean had a feeling that he was seeing through what he had come to undertake.

And the feeling became true in seconds.

"You've come to me to probably ask me to protect the Tikan free city. Am I wrong?

Though inwardly embarrassed, Jean nodded without showing any sign.

"I'm under the illusion that I've given you a letter of request in advance. Yes, Lord Valkas."

Jin's need for "tikan protection" was a matter most of the world's powers knew to some extent.

Valcas can't be unaware of it either.

Above all, Valcas was more conscious of the problem because Joshua's agent had just visited.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to accept that request.

"You haven't even heard of the terms."

"That's true, but it means you're a step behind."

Joshua did not send a man to capture the Black Kings.

He sent a person to urge Jin not to "receive" his request.
