Auto Hunting With My Clones - Chapter 205

< Investigation Team (2) >

At Raven’s attitude, Emperor Bismarck’s eyebrows went up as if he was slightly taken aback.

‘This bastard, Raven.’

But Bismarck, a senile politician and archmage.

That too wasn’t too hard.

-…haha. You speak very comfortably. It’s like going back to the past.

He continued talking as if nothing had happened.

“exactly? I don’t know myself.”

– Don’t you remember? Before you disappear, make your mark as the Empire’s guardian sword.

For some reason, Emperor Bismarck floats Raven.

However, when a hostile person praises you in an uncomfortable situation, you become rather anxious.

Raven also felt uncomfortable, but answered the emperor’s words.

“…Remember.”

-Do you really remember? The look on your face made me think you might have forgotten, but this is an honor. Unlike you, who had already made a name for himself as the best swordsman in the empire, at that time I was just one of the mages who studied under my father, who was a court mage. haha.

Emperor Bismarck grins.

his words continued.

– But let’s talk. I, who was only a minor duke at the time, became emperor like this. Aren’t you curious? The guardian sword of the empire, which commanded the empire, is staying on the periphery like this, and I, who was a mere wizard, became the emperor. It feels like the years are so insignificant. ha ha ha.

Emperor Bismarck with a smirk.

In fact, it was absurd to say that he was a mere wizard because he was a minor son of the Duke of Bismarck, a famous magical family, and Emperor Bismarck, who was famous as a 7th class wizard at the time.

However, the status of Raven, who was called the number one swordsman at the time and the guardian sword of the empire, was truly different.

That situation was reversed, and now they met the emperor and the servants who had to follow him.

And Emperor Bismarck was scratching Raven’s insides by openly picking up on the current phase difference.

Already in his head, there was no calculation of avoiding armed conflict with the Raven Territory as much as possible.

‘Grand Master? good night. jump in I will clearly show that there is a limit to individual powerlessness.’

This has been proven historically as well.

Even a superman who can deal with 10,000 people is still a human being.

Eventually you’ll get tired.

In an empire capable of mobilizing tens of millions of people, it would be difficult for even such superhumans to survive if humanitarian tactics were used.

With enemies on all sides, you can’t rest and you can’t find anything to eat.

Because of this, most of the heroes who rebelled against the empire and became traitors did not survive.

Because he was well aware of this fact, Emperor Bismarck was also able to provoke like this confidently.

But there was a fact that he didn’t even know.

‘Emperor… Isaac has grown up a lot.’

Even though Raven was well aware of that fact, the fact that she stiffly went out in front of the emperor.

‘Perhaps with the power of the emperor, they will try to suppress us by mobilizing the power of the empire.’

In that case, ordinary superhumans had no choice but to kneel or hide.

But Raven had his disciple Sang-woo.

‘If it’s necessary, we can face each other or escape to Earth.’

He was one of the few people who knew Sang-woo’s strength.

Sang-woo’s alter egos who are already in their 30s.

Each one was equal to his own strength, no, in some ways superior.

It is equivalent to having 30 powers with the power of a Grand Sword Master.

Plus, these clones recharged every 7 hours!

Unlike humans who collapse when they run out of power, they can continue to recharge.

It meant that as long as Sang-woo was safe, he could fight indefinitely.

Besides, if you use subspace, it’s not a job to run away to Earth.

That’s why Raven thought it was worth trying.

However, unlike those calculations, the answer that came out of his mouth was the opposite.

“exactly. I think that’s because the emperor is so outstanding. Unlike the small man who is a mere swordsman.”

Contrary to his challenging tone, the contents of his words were lowly.

At those words, the smile on Emperor Bismarck’s face deepened.

-haha. is it. It’s very embarrassing to have gold lacquer on your face. ha ha ha.

The emperor with a hearty laugh.

He was happy to think that he had won.

On the other hand, Raven looks at him expressionlessly.

Why did Raven go under the Emperor?

‘…There’s no way a disciple would commit a slaughter.’

Yes.

Raven decided that it was worth fighting with the Empire in terms of power.

However, the character of his disciple who grew up on Earth was different from that of Tibern here.

He was a petit bourgeois who lived within the boundaries of the law without killing.

Because of this, he could not drive his disciples into the abyss of a war where tens of millions of people had to be killed.

‘I don’t deserve that.’

It was a law that one could not force a student to fight just because he was a master.

So, Raven was trying to solve the situation in his Raven territory with his own strength.

Moreover, according to my discussions with my younger brother, Nigel, the emperor thought that there was a reason why the emperor sent an envoy under the name of the investigation team, so it was a decision that he could make because he thought that he would not suffer great harm.

If he had already tried to attack Hakoji, the army would have arrived at the time Prince Hardin arrived at Raven’s territory.

And Raven’s judgment was correct.

– It’s fun talking to you after a long time. I feel like talking all night long. haha.

Contrary to what he seemed to be enjoying, Emperor Bismarck was looking at Raven sharply.

The words of Emperor Bismarck continued.

-But the construction is busy, so I’ll have to hurry up the conversation. Hmmmm I think you can guess why I dispatched the investigation team like this.

“Is it because of Prince Hardin?’

– Exactly. Let’s just say it’s not because of the ‘prince’, but because of the rebel, Hardin Urencia.

“…….”

Emperor Bismarck holding the horse pod.

Raven remained silent.

Irrespective of this, the emperor continued to speak.

-As you know, Hardin Urencia fled to Raven’s territory here. And you, the Raven Territory, annihilated the Bismarck Knights who tried to capture Hardin. The evidence has already been secured. Show me the Marquis of Berschael.

At the emperor’s words, Marquis Vershael, who had been still holding the communication tool, reached out.

Then, a subspace opened in the air, and a video sphere came out.

And the video sphere that plays.

The video appeared to be from the point of view of Jeremy, who was the leader of the Bismarck Knights.

Jeremy struggles against Bahrain, who subdues Prince Hardin with shock magic and rushes after him at tremendous speed.

Then, in an

instant

, as if

his throat had been cut, his vision shook wildly, then reversed to reflect the back of the man in the black suit.

The man in the black suit held Prince Hardin in his arms as Jeremy missed him and collapsed.

The video ended there.

-As you can see, the video was recorded in front of the entrance of Raven’s Castle. And at the end you see a man in a black suit. However, the Mage Tower’s analysis was that this friend was your disciple. Is it right

The message of the video was great.

Unlike the emperor who said there was no specific evidence in front of his subjects at a ceremony in the imperial palace not too long ago, there was already evidence.

And it was because of the fact that Raven could be entangled.

This was possible because the Mage Tower played a role similar to that of the National Intelligence Service in Korea or the CIA in the United States.

In fact, it has been carried out by the Duke of Bismarck on its own since a long time ago, and it is because Emperor Bismarck, who came into contact with the earth’s culture through Lucas, felt the need for the Ministry of Information.

That’s how he created the intelligence department based on his support base, the Magic Tower.

Because of this, although it is not well known within the empire, it has secured a technology that can record all visual information in real time with the power of a mana communication magic device, and based on this, the scene where the owner of the magic device was once physically missed was never missed.

Thanks to you, I was able to secure this scene of evidence.

So Emperor Bismarck was able to ask Raven with confidence.

Unexpected that there would be video evidence, Raven had no choice but to agree.

“…That’s right.”

-As expected. Then you must be well aware that this is a criminal act that can be charged with treason. C.I.Zel. Ra.I.ven.

Emperor Bismarck called Raven by name.

It was practically a checkmate.

It was true that he aided the treason, and this remained as evidence.

Now, according to the Emperor’s judgment, the fate of Raven’s territory would be decided.

Usually, in situations like this, everyone is terrified.

However, everyone knew, including Raven and Emperor Bismarck.

It was because the emperor, who had to strengthen the imperial power and establish a base of support, would not unreasonably wage war or subdue.

Unless you want to be the emperor who took office in the shortest period of time in history.

Because of this, I knew very well that I would not go to a situation where an armed conflict would occur due to unreasonable demands.

“I know that. But, Your Majesty. It was just a courtesy to the old emperor. I didn’t help him.”

Nigel opened his mouth on behalf of Raven and appealed that he did not try to help Hardin.

At those words, Emperor Bismarck nodded.

– Of course I think so too. But it doesn’t change the fact that it helped in the end.

Emperor Bismarck staring fiercely.

Raven looked at the emperor expressionlessly.

– That’s why it’s hard to be generous. The sin of treason must be punished so that the same thing never happens again.

“Have mercy…”

Nigel bowed his head.

Raven also slightly lowered her head.

“…have mercy…”

Raven also chanted quietly.

The smile on Emperor Bismarck’s lips grew thicker.

‘Take it in moderation, Isaac.’

Raven’s stomach churned with humiliation, but for now she had no choice but to play with the emperor’s rhythm.

And the play ran toward the end.

-However, I think it would be too cruel to ask the Raven dukes, who have dedicated themselves to the empire for hundreds of years, to be guilty of treason over such a trivial matter. So I won’t ask you for treason.

Emperor Bismarck speaks meaningfully.

“Hwang Gong. your majesty.”

Nigel happily bowed his head.

“A great decision is coming. your majesty.”

The Marquis of Berschael supported the emperor’s decision with a happy expression.

In this way, the conversation proceeded in a certain order.

After all, there was a limit to how many they could put.

However, the end was slightly different from what Raven and Nigel expected.

-But

the pod stuck to Emperor Bismarck’s words.

Raven is feeling anxious.

The anxiety hit.

-Isn’t it a bit like not asking for guilt for free? I also need a cause to speak to the people and nobles.

In the end, it means you have to pay a fair price.

As Raven and Nigel’s expressions darken.

The words of Emperor Bismarck continued.

-So let’s talk. I want to give you a chance to atone for your sins.

“…what is that?”

Raven growled slightly and asked.

However, even such a growl only deepened Emperor Bismarck’s smile.

-It’s simple. Wouldn’t it be better to make a contribution to wash away the sin of treason?

“…….”

The sin of treason where life comes and goes.

What ball can compare with him?

It must be a dangerous thing to risk your own life right away.

Raven’s expression rotted.

-ha ha ha. Did this drag on too much? What a boring expression. Then I won’t talk any longer. I’ll be direct.

And the order that came out of the mouth of Emperor Bismarck was really equivalent to that.

-There is something I want.

“What is it?”

-Bring me the Frost Star.

The emperor smiled whitely.
