The next day.

I started my training. The purpose, as I said, is to fully embody the traits that we now possess.

I don't know how long it'll take, but I'm gonna try my best.

“· · · · · · · Once the flesh of the wind seems to be fully matured soon. ”

Honestly, the complete sieving of elf-side characteristics is largely meaningless.

If you increase your charm more than this, nothing will change.

“But it's meaningful to make it fully materialized. ”

In fact, the most important thing is to fully embody the angelic nature.

It is so ‘black’ that it should be made at least ‘red’.

“I should have used a thunderbee more often. ”

The problem is that all three of the characteristics of the heavenly bodies that are being learned are completely different from each other.

We've only just acquired [Divine Power] and [Battle Angel].

[Punishment] is rarely used, so it is virtually like a recent one.

The ‘thunderbee’ is close to being fully stoked, although it is aimed at using it regularly and fully stoked.

“It's too bad the cost is too bad. ”

Magic efficiency is so bad, I'm dying of frustration.

It is worse than the flames of the Spirit.

Of course, the Spirit's Flame is only usable because it has been calibrated by 'Affinity of Hua Traits’.

However, the value of the thunderbolt is even worse in the current situation.

That's why I left the thunderbee alone.

It's more efficient to use the Spirit's Flame with the same magical power.

“We still have 20 days to make it work.” ”

I received the list of ancient artifacts that were confirmed to be exhibited at the museum from Yoo-Hwa, but there were many useful celestial artifacts.

In order to use those artifacts, at least one thousand bees must be fully materialized.

“Let's start again, then. ”

You must be out of your magic.

I got up from my seat after a break.

* * *

That time.

The most important hiding place in the organization of the lifesaver of truth.

“Boss, here's the report. ”

Maestro reports to Unknown.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Unknown is just looking at the report.

He didn't seem to want to receive it.

The way you look at Maestro is very cold.

I don't like the look of it.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Looking at Unknown's expression, Maestro chews his lips small.

The trust between Unknown and Maestro has been broken since the last incident at Hermitage.

To be more precise, Unknown did not trust Maestro.

‘The mistake was too great. ’

Oil kidnapping operation failed.

He lost the Alchemist and returned home with no income.

And most of all, Hermitt wasn't a real spy.

A series of mistakes led to the loss of Unknown's trust.

Unawn grimaces at Maestro as he still looks at the report.

Then I started to quickly read the report without a single syllable.

“There's nothing wrong with the report, right? ”

Unknown, who read the report halfway, frowned on the report with his gaze fixed.

“· · · · · · · Example. ”

The question made Maestro's glabella tingle.

Even these basic reports have pride in the doubt that there is no error.

“Then I'll be going now. ”

Unknown shakes his hand without even giving Maestro a look.

“· · · · · · · Example. ”

Maestro left the room quietly. At the close of the visit, Maestro's expression distorted badly enough to say, ”Go away.”

“· · · · · · · Dammit. ”

How did this happen?

I was familiar with the nature of Unknown.

Hates the loser and despises the loser. Whether the failure was a mistake or a skill, the failure was a failure. That is Unknown's philosophy.

‘How have you survived so far? ’

Maestro has never made a mistake or failed before. for almost a decade.

That is why Maestro was able to sit in the position of the second party, executive general, under the full trust of Unknown.

‘Dangerous.'

Maestro recalls Unknown's expression. It's like looking at a disgusting insect.

Maestro knows more than anyone about how the executives who used to look at Unknown disappeared.

‘Disposal · · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

Used by useless executives as ”holy martyrs” and disposed of at the same time. That's what the trustless executive said.

‘Is there any way to reverse this? ’

How to regain Unknown's trust. If you don't find a way somehow, you're done.

It was when I was chewing my lips like that.

“Maestro of the underworld has become a laughingstock!”

Rust laughs and approaches Maestro.

“· · · · · · · Get lost. ”

Maestro growls in a vicious hue. I feel like I can release my magical power right now.

“You have a bad mouth. I'm here because I care about you. ”

Rust smiled.

“You. If you do this, you'll be discarded. You know?”

Maestro's expression was even more distorted.

“That's not going to happen. ”

“What can you do? I can't change the boss' mind about the mess. ”

Maestro shuts up.

“You don't have one?”

There was a debris flow from Rust's eyes.

”Okay, Hermite's right. ’

Then we can proceed as planned.

That's what Rust said.

“Then I'll make you an offer. ”

“· · · · · · Suggestions? ”

“Yes. I've come up with a way for you to regain the boss' trust. ”

“Let's hear it for now. ”

“Good choice. ”

Rust smiled at Maestro with a serious expression.

“Attacking the resting place of this dragon. ”

Hermite said to Rust,

“· · · · · · · · Okay? ”

It was a moment passed on to Maestro.

* * *

“Rust has been contacted. ”

That night.

Black fog approaches me, who was working on his training on his own. Needless to say, it was Hermit.

“What did Maestro say? ”

“I'd say I haven't said anything yet, but I'm sure we'll get on with our intentions. ”

Hermit's eyes glow coldly.

“This trap is a hell of an ant you'll have to fall for in the first place. I'm afraid of Kang Seo Yul who came up with this idea. ”

Hermit smiled.

“Don't overreact.”

“I mean it. When I heard the details of the operation, along with my promise to use Maestro, How creepy it was. ”

Hermit rubs his arm against the black coat.

“A meticulous operation · · · · · · · · that cannot be set without 100% awareness of Maestro's propensity, and yet is delicate and deadly · · · · · ·. I'm amazed to think about it. ”

I'm ashamed to hear it all.

“So you think things are going well, right? ”

“Yes, I think 99.9% succeeded. ”

“What is 0.01%? ”

“This is the case of a natural disaster or something similar. the recent Gate catastrophe of colostrum. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“If something like that happens, the plan itself will be ruined. Of course, that's not gonna happen. Haha.”

Suddenly I became anxious.

Thinking about all that's happened so far.

The more detailed my plan was, the more miserable it got.

· · · · · · No way. Again?

No, I don't want to deny it.

Let's not think about anything weird.

I shaken my head desperately, casting off my sinister thoughts.

“Anyway, call me if you need anything. ”

“Yes.”

This also achieves a second condition.

All that's left now is to be strong.

* * *

I thought about it for a while, but I also decided not to say the word 'master’ to anyone, including Maiden.

It's not that I don't trust those four, but there's no such thing as a perfect secret. If you want to deceive an enemy, you have to first deceive an ally.

‘I don't know what Mr. Maiden will do if he finds out who the Master is. ’

Anger is hard to control, so no matter what kind of mistake Maiden might make.
