‘He didn’t get a wanted order issued on him?’
-Sunbyul: What are you talking about?
Sunbyul asked Salyeong.
Sunbyul’s expression was full of seriousness.
-Sunbyul: There should be no hurdles to the order.
-Sunbyul: Wasn’t it overlooked?
It is not one or two orders which were issued.
Could it have been overlooked?
-Salyeong: Only one wanted order came down today.
However, at the Salyeong’s following words that followed, Sunbyul had no choice but to tilt his head.
One?
If there was only one then it’s not missing.
As Salyeong said, the order against Soo Hyuk was not issued.
“What the hell… …
He had a conversation with Marquis of Beyond last night.
Obviously, the conversation ended with a wanted order for Soo Hyuk to be arranged.
How the hell happened?
-Salyeong: Is it possible that they decided to lower the order for the arrangement today?
Asked the commander.
-Sunbyull: Uh, they were definitely going to give the order today.
Sunbyul rose from his chair, while sending a reply to Salyeong.
-Sunbyul: Did you go to the Marquis’ office?
Sunbyul got up from his seat, came out of the room and asked Salyeong.
-Salyeong: No, I didn’t go to his office. Should we go?
-Sunbyul: Yes, we have to find out what happened.
Sunbyul needs to ask the Marquis of Beyond to find out why the order was not given.
He was thinking of meeting him.
-Salyeong: Then shall I go to the mansion?
-Sunbyul: No, you go and only look for the Knight Commander, Frill.
-Salyeong: Okay.
Sunbyul ended his whisper with Salyeong at the guild house.
Then he went straight to the mansion of the Marquis of Beyond.
Swoosh
Upon arriving at the mansion, the soldiers guarding the entrance recognized him and bowed their heads to greet him.
“Good morning. I came to see the Marquis.”
Sunbyul said while receiving the soldier’s greetings.
“Let me ask… …”
The soldier answered Sunbyul’s words and entered the mansion.
And after a while the soldier returned.
“…?”
Sunbyul looked at the soldier’s expression and felt something strange.
‘Why is he embarrassed?’
It was because the soldier’s expression was full of embarrassment.
“Sorry.”
Soon….said the soldier. The moment he heard the soldier’s words, Sunbyul could feel the ominousness of the situation.
“The Marquis has gone on vacation.”
Ominousness soon became a reality.
Sunbyul frowned at the soldier’s words.
“.. He is on a vacation?”
Vacation? What kind of vacation is it all of a sudden?
“Yes, they said he is gone on vacation.”
The soldier still responded to Sunbyul’s question with a confused expression.
Sunbyul turned his gaze away from the soldier and thought, looking at the mansion.
‘What are you doing?’
Contrary to the soldier’s words, the Marquis of Beyond would not have gone on vacation.
He is definitely in the mansion.
It was obvious that the vacation was an excuse not to meet him.
Why does he not want to meet?
“Okay.”
Sunbyul turned back.
Sunbyul turned around and headed for the guild house.
“Brother!”
And Sunbyul returned to the Guild House and was able to find Salyeong.
‘Frills too?’
Frill was the Knight Commander who Salyeong visited.
He hasn’t met Frill as well then
“Something is weird.”
Said Salyeong who approached Sunbyul.
“Frill didn’t want to meet me.”
Sunbyul thought to his words.
‘Something happened.’
It was clear something had happened after last night.
Otherwise, there was no reason for Marquis of Beyond nor Frill to refuse to meet them.
‘What happened?’
What has happened since he had the conversation last night?
[Wisdom rises by 1.]
When the book was covered, a message appeared, and Soo Hyuk, who saw the message, checked the time.
‘I have to read one more book.’
The 5 o’clock promise with Kelloy was approaching.
Soo Hyuk got up and returned the books he had read, and returned to his seat with a new book that was shining white.
Soon after, Soo Hyuk was able to reach the last chapter and he covered the book.
All done.
[Wisdom rises by 1.]
A message appeared, and Soo Hyuk stood up, returned the book, and came out of the library.
‘What time was the dinner supposed to be?’
He decided to go to the branch by 5 o’clock.
So dinner would be after 5 o’clock.
To be honest, Soo Hyuk hoped for the dinner to be postponed for tomorrow.
It was because there were few books left in the library.
“Where do you want to go?”
Soon after arriving at the warp gate, Soo Hyuk opened the inventory and answered.
“Fade Kingdom, Kennis.”
“It will be 40 gold.”
“Here you go.”
Soo Hyuk took out 40 gold, handed it to the wizard, and warped to Kennis.
When Soo Hyuk arrived at Kennis, he headed straight to the branch, and when he arrived at the branch, he could see Kelloy, who greeted him in advance.
“You came.”
Kelloy approached Soo Hyuk.
As usual, he politely bowed back to greet him.
Soo Hyuk also said hello to Kelloy and asked.
“What happened to dinner?”
“You said you will be coming at 5, so he set it for 6 o’clock.”
Replied Kelloy.
Soo Hyuk frowned at dinner time.
‘1 hour… …
It was because he had to wait an hour.
