Continental Summit (1)
“Then I will go to the temple for now.”
“Are you familiar with the instructions?”
“of course. We will proceed without a hitch.”
“Okay, then go out.”
“Yes.”
At Mullo’s answer, the middle-aged man greeted politely and quietly left the office with silent steps.
His identity, who humbled himself thoroughly so as not to offend the opponent’s nerves, was Duke Bright, who was known to wield unbridled power in the Kingdom of Thalia.
He, who was to attend the Continental Summit as the representative of the Kingdom of Thalia, had come for the last report.
And when he left, Heinz, who had been sitting quietly in his chair the whole time, turned his gaze to Mullo, who was standing next to him.
“Couldn’t the author do something useless?”
Since the Continental Summit is a place where the highest level of each country, including the main denomination, gathers, it could be annoying if I said a word wrong there.
“Rod, that guy is a hand I prepared since I was a baby. You don’t have to worry too much.”
However, Mullo only smiled confidently at Heinz’s words.
Although he didn’t use obvious mental magic in case he was exposed to the outside world like now, there were a lot of ways to subjugate people.

Mullo, who has lived for many years, has mastered such methods, and with such accumulated experience, he is a veteran who has never failed in decades.
“Hmm— yes. In the current situation, if things go wrong, I wouldn’t have time to worry about this side. Because the situation on the continent is such a mess.”
The Kingdom of Talia did not suffer much damage from the madness due to thorough control of the forest of monsters, which even mobilized the Broco Slack Clan.
Of course, it wasn’t that there were no sacrifices as monsters weren’t the only ones there, but compared to other countries, it was a very good level.
However, other countries were unable to respond immediately like the kingdom of Thalia, and the damage was further aggravated by the intertwining of various interests and scams.
‘Because I had to pay attention to the actions of the undead in areas other than the west.’
In addition, the main church was in a hectic situation with the request for support flooding in from various places, so even if Duke Bright made fun of it, they wouldn’t have time to use their hands on this side.
‘Come to think of it, it would be okay for the clan to come to the fore with this incident.’
The lower vampires of the Upersh Clan were already gathering one by one through the Blood Gate to Talia Kingdom.
It was a situation where two of the three vampire clans joined forces, so it was already possible to exercise the influence of a nation alone with that alone.
Even if it excludes the Kingdom of Thalia.
‘Six Jinhyeolman and two Seonghyeol. The number of pure-blooded people below him reached 100… Ha, even thinking about it again, it’s a ridiculous power.’
If the blood magic possessed by true blood is converted to earth standards, it reaches level 7-8.
If Freesia was at level 7 before being subordinated to Heinz, Mule was at level 8.
‘But when I fought myself, Freesia was much stronger than Earth’s betas. To express it numerically, it would be level 7.5.’
It was the difference between an Awakener who grew rapidly with all sorts of growth corrections and unique skills, and a person from another world who polished himself for a long time.
If the abilities were similar, there was bound to be a difference in skills.
Of course, the case would have been different if the betas had strengthened their unique skills more, but that was the case from what he experienced firsthand.
‘In addition, that is the story before Freesia was strengthened with 「Refined Blood」. It should be enough for level 8 now.’
However, that level of true blood is a whopping six.
No, Mullo and Theodore, who are the leaders of each clan, should be put on the upper row, so they should be at level 8.5.
‘Sacred Blood should be considered level 9 or higher. I’ve never even heard of it on Earth, so what’s the point?’
Anyway, this was enough power to occupy the capital of a fairly strong kingdom, not a small and weak country like the Kingdom of Thalia.
Since it is a small elite, it will be temporary considering the full-scale response from the human side that will take place later.
Of course, since he had already occupied a country, there was no need to do so.
‘By the way, Holy Blood…’
Heinz buried himself deeply in the chair and gently closed his eyes.
Another Holy Blood other than him, Bricky.
In his mind, the story he had with her right after the battle with the Yupersh Clan was over.
About what she wants and what her final destination is.
“Huh, shall we wait a little longer?”
“Yes?”
“No, nothing.”
Anyway, her fate was already in his hands.
Whether you catch it or take it under your command.
Everything will come true according to your will.

roar-
Purple flames burned in the dark.
The flame scattered a gloomy atmosphere in the middle of the sealed cellar, projecting the shadows of the figures standing around it on the walls in all directions.
Five bizarre shadows swaying wildly in the flicker of purple light.
And the unidentified man who had been watching them in the dark quietly opened his mouth.
“…As expected, Oldman doesn’t seem to be able to attend?”
By grasping the current situation of the absentee, the secret regular meeting of the oath of reversal began.
[Is no one in touch with him…?]
[Hee hee~ Since when did we start caring about each other? Actually, the reason is obvious, right? Where did you just look for it!]
On the other hand, there are people who have not been able to grasp the trend at all depending on the distance or relationship of the activity area.
[Hmm, the last communication we exchanged was that the trend in the western area was unusual. Small branches are being attacked by someone.]
[Ah— I think I’ve heard people say that the Church has moved! Could it be that the Heretic Questioner moved?]
There were some people who sensed an abnormality because there was a slight exchange.
Consisting of point organizations, they are advantageous in maintaining security, but have a weakness in that smooth information exchange does not take place.
If there is a problem with the branch manager in charge of the branch, as it is now, it is almost impossible to quickly grasp the situation and deal with it.
[Hmm~ Hey, is there any information I found out about that?]
At that time, a sticky female voice echoed around, and everyone’s attention turned to it.
Despite being a grotesquely twisted shadow, she exudes a strange charm, and she slowly opened her mouth while enjoying the attention being drawn to her.
[The Undead Army is raiding underground organizations. It is also strangely focused on the forces under our command.]
Silence fell momentarily at the information she released.
Because that was never good news.
[···why···?]
[That’s it, I don’t know~?]
They knew that there was a person under her who specialized in obtaining information.
I had benefited from it so far, so there was no need to doubt the reliability of the information now.
[Uhm, how come none of the immortal king’s movements that I expected so far matched. Everything from one to ten is beyond expectations.]
In the first place, it did not make sense for the Immortal King, who should have been engulfed in the ‘death’ of the abyss and dedicated only to staining the continent with death, to disappear for such a long time and not come to the fore.
A development that I could not have imagined at all when I first heard the news of the Immortal King’s resurrection.
Rather, the fact that they were raiding an underground organization was disconcerting enough that most of their plans had to be scrapped.
“Then, should we assume that Oldman was also attacked by the Immortal King?”
[Wouldn’t it be reasonable to think so? Because if it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to get hit by mice and birds like this.]
It’s not like the Immortal King considers them an obstacle to conquering the continent and wants to get rid of them.
In this case, rather, it would be something that was done to judge them useful and use them properly.
But from their point of view, it was a difficult situation either way.
[under! Nothing is going to happen because of these idiots! Following Marcos and Nurabe, is it Oldman this time?]
In such a serious atmosphere, the large shadow complained in frustration.
[You’ve been preparing for more than ten years, and you’re making a mess before you even use the preparation properly! Neither do you! Nothing has been accomplished since I opened the abyss and took out the madness!]
[Pu-huh! Hee hee hee~ That’s right too. Fukkuk…!]
[You shut up! Before I pull out my tongue!]
[Ah, sorry, sorry! Puhi—!]
His size started to go into a fit of rage, but the frivolous laugh didn’t stop.
The moment when the atmosphere became more and more violent.
“Certainly not wrong. Lately, I feel like I’ve been too careful to pay attention to the virtues of the Immortal King.”
Suddenly, the voice that cut off their argument brought all eyes to one place.
When he, who had been lost in thought since the word immortal king came out, came out again, and those who had been talking loudly the whole time quietly closed their mouths and focused on his next words.
“Everyone knows about the Continental Summit to be held this time, right?”
[Sure. It’s so noisy, but you wouldn’t know.]
“Finally, the work this side was preparing for is also over. If you prepare right away, the timing is perfect… It must be right in the middle of the meeting.”
[Well? Surely that is… ah— is that so.]
I don’t know the details as each area is different, but I shared rough information while making a plan.
However, it was entirely up to the parties involved to coordinate the exact timing and decide on the scale and location, and even they did not know when and what would happen…
[Khehehe! Ah— I’m curious about the faces of those who gathered to discuss countermeasures! Too bad you can’t see it in person! Whoops!]
[Is there anything I can do to help?]
“none. It’s something I’ve been working on for a long time.”
He slowly looked around at the attention of the grotesque shadows, then added in a determined voice.
“And that will be the starting point for the collapse of the current ruling system.”
And after a while, finally all the meetings are over.
As the purple flames that had been lighting up the darkness faded, only thick darkness remained in the space.
sigh—
After standing still in the dark for a while, the man climbed the basement stairs with silent steps.
Light began to enter the surrounding space, and his steps did not stop even in the gradually brightening interior.
char-
When he finally reached the window, he opened the curtain wide open.
Bright sunlight pouring in at once and the scene of a busy city.
“…Now this is the last time.”
Now that they knew that the Immortal King was targeting them, they had no time to relax.
After pouring in all the things you have prepared, you will have to cut off all contact for a while and go into hiding.
‘Fortunately, there is not much information Oldman has about this side. There is a ban on him, but the Immortal King might do something, so it’s better to be prepared. …From now on, I’ll have to be wary of the other guys.’
And he continued to stare at the scenery outside until the sun went down.
The high-ranking executives of the Oath of Yeokcheon, a fortune-telling organization, were all on equal terms on the outside, but there is always a real leader among them.
And the man was the one who had the greatest influence within the organization no matter what anyone said.
To the extent that some executives could be banned.
The place where he is now is located in the northern part of the empire, surrounded on three sides by the northern mountains, where war with monsters takes place every day.
It was the Principality of Rohan.
***
Envoys from each faction began to arrive in front of Roselia Daejeon one by one.
From high-ranking officials who have been entrusted with full authority from each country, to representatives of organizations such as the Mage Tower Federation and the Mercenary Guild.
It was only difficult to coordinate in advance to bring them together, but once that was resolved, the movement itself proceeded easily and quickly through the gate of the temple.
Of course, there were also heterogeneous people from the Enamel Continent, and as agreed with the Church, they were able to quickly cross the sea and join through the ‘Forest Road’ of the High Elf Lafori.
Fortunately, the Elven Kingdom side recognized the importance of the matter, and thanks to the fact that they had become closer with Cecily Gunn earlier, they easily obtained their cooperation.
In this way, the leaders of this world Auterica gathered together.
Right here, in the Holy Land, the center of the continent.
If something went wrong with those present here, it would inevitably cause great chaos around the world.
Because they were the most influential people in each faction.
And that means…
‘Just making a deep impression in this place means that karma explodes!’
It meant that this place was like a gold mine.
