“No, I need detailed information! What on earth are you supposed to do just by looking at the map? I must have seemed very easy-going because I was obediently following what I was told, but when will I make this clear?···.”
smart—
Andrew Weaver, the blond man who had been complaining repeatedly, hurriedly closed his mouth when he heard a sudden knock..
“Hmm, come on in..”
The door opens quietly with his permission.
A maid came inside without a sound and began setting out tea and refreshments on the table..
And before she finished work and went out the door, Andrew spoke to her as if it was no big deal..
“By any chance, is Lady Siana at the mansion right now??”
“no. The lady hasn't come back yet..”
“Um, I see. It is nothing. Just leave now.”
“yes.”
After politely bowing and catching a glimpse of the maid leaving, he put some refreshments into his mouth and sank deeply into the chair..
After my irritation cooled down, I sighed, thinking that there was nothing I could do..
‘Tsk, I guess I should give it a try anyway..’
If your superiors criticize you, what can you do?.
The order given to him was to investigate the powerful magical power collision that occurred in the northwestern mountain range not long ago through “trajectory observation”..
‘My ability is not so convenient that I can see wherever I want.!’
It was an area with no people and no detailed information, so all he was given was the location on the map..
Although there was information on natural vegetation, climate, monster habitats, etc. as reference material, such comprehensive information was not particularly helpful in specifying the location..
The best way was to see the object or place with your own eyes, and the next best way was to get as much detailed information as possible, even in writing.···.
‘Since I don't even want pictures, why don't I just give them a sketch of the scene and have them do the work?.’
Moreover, if the person doing the deed was presumed to be the Immortal King, I was of little use to myself as I couldn't see him due to the difference in status..
‘Of course, they took that into consideration when they asked me to do the work..’
First of all, I had no choice but to show my best effort..
Thanks to this ability, he was able to grow comfortably while being treated like this..
Andrew sank deep into the armchair and activated his unique skill, “Trajectory Observation.”.
Since I couldn't check the scene of the incident right away, I first looked at the entrance where there was a lot of data and tried to slowly go inside..
‘what? There are people going into the mountains in this mess.?’
Around the same time, we were able to find Harley and his group heading north after receiving the request..
However, it was only for a moment that I followed them with my gaze, and as I started to go deeper, it soon became as if I was enveloped in fog..
‘···I knew it would be like this. Observation without information has its limits..’
I don't know if the level could be higher, but this was the limit of his abilities right now..
Afterwards, I tried several times, but as expected, I failed to identify the area where the magic conflict occurred..
‘Hey, it was all in vain. You're not saying shit to me for no reason... Yeah.?’
Just as Andrew was about to end the “trajectory observation,”.
In his field of vision, he caught sight of those who had entered the mountains returning..
There was nothing strange about that, but···.
‘what? Why is it so blurry??’
Unlike when they left, their appearance on their return was not clearly observed..
It wasn't as bad as the immortal king who couldn't see at all, but it was on a higher level than the true vampire who could only be seen indirectly..
Even if I focused my attention on someone in the group, I couldn't see clearly because there was noise just because that 'someone' was nearby..
‘Something has changed. I need to look into it more closely..’
And Andrew, who began investigating them, learned that they had received a request from a lord to rescue dwarves stranded in the mountains..
‘Is there something to that dwarf? Or maybe it was a fake request and there was some other hidden agenda.?’
Anyway, it was clear that something was unusual..
Although he failed to find out the information that was his original goal, he found some suspicious circumstances and stood up in joy..
Anyway, since I gained some income, I now have something to say about the above..
“It was great! This is enough for today. The rest can be continued later..”
Now that he had nothing to worry about, he walked out of the mansion with confident steps, got into the prepared carriage, and headed to the entertainment district..
It was nice to play in the mansion, but how can people live only in the house??
‘If you do your job properly, you don't have to touch anything, so there is no other job as good as this..’
In addition, there was ample financial support, so it could be said that work satisfaction was the highest..
It would be better if they didn't make us do unreasonable work like in this case..
When Andrew Weaver was comfortably riding in a carriage,.
Sooooo—
There was something quietly following him, without any sign..
That formless thing has no obsession or desire and only has a vague ego..
I was just quietly looking at him..

“···That's fast.”
Heinz, who came to Heterosis' office, lowered the mouse wheel and stuck out his tongue..
Although it was only the first part covering the basics, it was organized quite neatly to say it was prepared in less than a day..
“It was a special order from Lorde that came down after a long time. We even improved our clan and put our clan's all effort into it.!”
At his admiration, Jin So-ran shrugged his shoulders with a proud smile..
I was satisfied with his surprised appearance as he took a break from his personal broadcasting, which he continued to do as a hobby, for this work..
Heinz read the contents lightly..
From the theoretical part starting with the properties of metal to the practical part starting with how to hold a hammer..
The materials, including photos and videos, were the best introductory blacksmith book that would allow you to grow quickly if you read them properly..
‘Of course, it may not be easy to clearly understand and accept it..’
No matter how basic it was and how easy it was to understand, there was no way the average person could easily follow such specialized knowledge..
How much worse would it be if you had to study on your own without a teacher, using only theory?.
It will take a considerable amount of time just to fully master this part.···.
Dwarf Howard was no ordinary commoner..
What was merely a list of information when Heinz read it was quickly analyzed in Howard's mind..
Properties of various metals, how to control the temperature of fire, characteristics of added materials and principles of each process, etc.···.
The theory became embedded in my instincts, and I was able to intuitively imitate the movements in the video..
‘I want to try the experiment myself quickly..’
Howard's hands were itching to acquire new knowledge..
No matter how great he was, there was a limit to simply knowing it, so it was necessary to practice what he understood and fully experience it in his own body..
‘Since I already used the transfer team today, Hubert can prepare his attack and defense until the cooldown ends..’
For Hubert, who had come to lead a fairly large trading company in Tarak, preparing a workshop exclusively for Howard was nothing..
Around the time Heinz was organizing his thoughts,.
“Oh, now that I think about it, I had one more thing to report to Rod.!”
Jin So-ran, who was smiling brightly in front of him, remembered something and changed his expression to serious..
“I was continuing to track the organization you mentioned earlier, the Buncheonhoe... We have identified circumstances in which several forces came into contact with them..”
It may seem like a lot of time has passed due to the time difference from this world, but it's only been a little over a month since they stopped activities in Korea..
However, he still couldn't come to his senses and a movement was detected to try to see the liver..
“It's only a light contact as there are no plans to make a full-scale move right now, so we're just keeping an eye on the situation and monitoring the situation..”
“Hmm... yes, good job. From now on, don't take action directly, but just focus on understanding the situation..”
“all right!”
Beoncheonhoe.
Of course there was no way I could forget them..
Isn't the whole reason he is building up his forces and increasing his power like this to exterminate them?.
‘Actually, I think Hans alone would be enough for some people..’
The power of Beoncheonhoe had already surpassed the level of what could be done with individual force, and it was so thoroughly hidden that it was difficult to find it..
Also, due to the nature of Hans' energy, there was a risk that he would make the wrong person his enemy if he went out carelessly.···.
‘There is no need to rush out. Let's be sure, be sure. After learning more about them, I will completely kill them..’
The advantage of time was on this side.
For about 10 months while he was gaining strength···.
Because only one month has passed on Earth..

“yes? Could you please say that again??”
Talaria, capital of the Kingdom of Thalia.
A fight was going on at the main gate of the Duke Bright family, the kingdom's highest noble family..
The reason was that a black-haired woman who came suddenly was stopped by a guard while trying to confidently go inside..
“I came looking for Mulo.”
“This is Duke Bright’s mansion. Are you sure you’ve come to the wrong place?···?”
The guard guarding the main gate of the mansion was embarrassed and spoke to her cautiously..
Normally, I would have kicked her out mercilessly with harsh words, but the strange atmosphere she gave me made me feel intimidated without realizing it..
“···Well, did you make a promise??”
“Um...no? I just came.”
The guard responded, sweating profusely in an attempt to somehow overcome the situation, but the woman standing in front of him just tilted her head in disgust..
“This is difficult—. I'm sorry if I made a fuss for no reason..”
While talking to myself without understanding the meaning.
“···First, let me tell you something inside. Can I tell you who it is??”
“me? If you say ‘Bricky’, you’ll know..”
In the end, he decided to leave the judgment in-house..
If he was a truly insignificant person, his evaluation would be lowered after hearing what the butler said to him, but if he was a great person and he was treated poorly, it was an issue that could lead to his physical loss..
And it was a very good decision.
As her words reached the inside, one of the butlers came directly to the door and checked on the other person..
“Hmm, same goes for this kid. What on earth happened?.”
These were the first words she uttered as soon as she encountered the pale-faced butler who came out of the mansion..
“I'll take you inside first. Please come this way..”
The butler politely guides her inside..
Of course, the place they headed to was a place full of all kinds of barriers and security devices that was not open to general guests..
As he walked down the hallway, ‘Bricky’ quietly looked at his guide, a pure-blooded vampire..
I could feel the deteriorated blood on him that I had already encountered several times on the way here..
‘It's special. The fundamentals haven't changed, but there are too many changes that I can't understand..’
I already caught a piece of residual blood along the way, smelled the blood, tasted it slightly, and checked it in various ways.···.
I could never figure out the cause of the change..
‘The person in question didn't seem to know the details either..’
'Evolution', which is much more advanced than the original in many directions due to factors that even one cannot understand.’.
That's why she came here herself.
Rod would know more about the cause of this..
smart—
“Mulo, I brought you here..”
In the deep part of the mansion they arrived at, they were finally able to face each other..
The clan's former lord, Mulo Brokoslak,.
“It’s been a while, Mulo..”
“Welcome, Brokoslak..”
The founder of the clan, Holy Blood ‘Brokoslak’.
She finally came here in person.
