My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 116
#116
Foreshadowing (1)
“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 had been obediently
following what I was told, but when will I make this clear?…”
Andrew Weaver, the blond man who had been complaining repeatedly, hurriedly shut his mouth when he heard a sudden knock on the door.
“Hmm, come 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.
“Is Lady Shianna in the mansion right now?”
“no. “The lady has not returned yet.”
“Well, I see. It is nothing. “Just leave now.”
“yes.”
After politely saying hello and catching a glimpse of the maid leaving, he put some refreshments into his mouth and sank into the chair.
After my irritation cooled down, I sighed as I realized that there was nothing I could do.
‘Tsk, but I guess I’ll give it a try first.’
If your superiors criticize you, what can you do?
The order given to him was to “observe the trajectory” and investigate the powerful clash of magical powers that occurred in the northwestern mountain range not long ago.
‘My ability is not so convenient that I can see wherever I want!’
Since it was an area with no people and no detailed information, all he was given was the location on the map.
Although there was information such as natural vegetation and climate monster habitats as reference material, such comprehensive information was not particularly helpful in specifying the location.
The best way is to see the object or place with your own eyes, and the next best way is to get as much detailed information as possible, even in writing….
‘I don’t even ask for photos, so why not give me a sketch of the scene and have me do the work.’
Moreover, if the person he was dealing with was presumed to be the Immortal King, he was of little use to himself as he could not 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 into the armchair and activated his unique skill, “Trajectory Observation.”
Since I couldn’t check the scene of the incident right away, I was trying to go through the entrance area where there was a lot of data and then slowly go inside.
‘what? Are there 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, as I began to move my ‘eyes’ along them for a moment and go deeper, it soon changed as if I was enveloped in fog.
‘…I knew it would be like this. Observation without information has its limits.’
It might be possible if the level were higher, but this was the limit of his abilities right now.
Afterwards, we tried several times, but as expected, we failed to identify the area where the magic collision occurred.
‘Ah, I worked hard for no reason. ‘You’re saying shit to me for no reason… huh?’
Just as Andrew was about to end the “trajectory observation”.
In his field of vision, he caught the sight of those who had entered the mountain range returning.
There was nothing strange about that, but…
‘What? ‘What’s so blurry?’
Unlike when they left, 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.
No matter which person in the group I focused my attention on, the mere presence of that ‘someone’ next to me created noise, making it impossible to see clearly.
‘Something has changed. ‘I need to look into it more closely.’
And Andrew, who started 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 is it just a fake request and there was another hidden intention?’
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.
“Great! This is enough for today. “You can continue with the rest later.”
Now that he had nothing to worry about, he walked out of the mansion with confident steps, boarded a prepared carriage, and headed to the entertainment district.
It was nice to hang out in the mansion, but how can people live only in the house?
‘If you do your job properly, you won’t be touched, 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.
Swoosh—
there was something quietly following him without any sign.
That formless thing has no obsession or desire and only has a vague ego.
I just quietly looked 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 Rod, who came down after a long time. “Our clan has put all its effort into strengthening the clan alliance!”
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 as a hobby, to do this work.
Heinz read the contents lightly.
From the theoretical part starting with the characteristics 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 general public could easily follow this specialized knowledge.
It would be even worse if you had to study on your own without a teacher, using only theory.
It would take a considerable amount of time just to fully master this part, but…
Dwarf Howard was not an ordinary ordinary person.
What was merely a list of information when Heinz read it was quickly analyzed in Howard’s mind.
The properties of various metals, how to control the temperature of fire, the characteristics of the added materials, the principles of each process, etc….
The theory was engraved in my instincts, and I was able to intuitively imitate the movements in the video.
‘I want to quickly experiment myself.’
Howard’s hands were itching after acquiring new knowledge.
No matter how great he was, there was a limit to simply knowing, so it was necessary to practice what he understood and fully experience it in his own body.
‘I already used the transfer team today, so 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.
That was around the time Heinz was organizing his thoughts.
“Oh, by the way, I have one more thing to report to Lord!”
Jin So-ran, who was smiling brightly in front of him, remembered something and his expression changed to serious.
“We have been continuing to track the organization that you mentioned earlier… We have found out that several forces have been in contact with them.”
It may seem like a lot of time has passed due to the time difference from this world, but it has only been a little over a month since they stopped activities in Korea.
However, he still couldn’t come to his senses and was slowly trying to look at his liver.
“For now, we are only monitoring the situation and monitoring the situation as it is only a light contact and there are no plans to make a full-scale move right now.”
“Hmm… yes, good job. “In the future, don’t take action directly, but just focus on understanding the situation.”
“all right!”
Buncheonhoe.
Of course, there was no way I could forget them.
Isn’t the whole reason he is building up his influence and increasing his power like this to exterminate them?
‘Actually, I think Hans alone would be enough for some people.’
The power of Beoncheonhoe was already beyond what could be done with individual force, and it was so completely 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 go out in a hurry. Let’s be sure. Be sure. After finding out more about them, I will completely put an end to them.’
The advantage of time was on this side.
During the 10 months that he was growing his strength…
only one month had passed on Earth.

“yes? “Could you say that again?”
Talaria, the capital of the Kingdom of Thalia.
A scuffle was going on at the main gate of the Duke Bright family, which could be said to be the highest noble family in the kingdom.
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.
“…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, I will tell you inside. “Can I tell you who it is?”
“me? “If you say ‘Bricky,’ you’ll know.”
In the end, he decided to leave the decision to others.
If he was truly an insignificant person, his evaluation would be lowered after hearing what the butler said to him, but if he was a great person and treated him poorly, it could be a problem 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, the same goes for this kid. “What on earth happened?”
Those were the first words she uttered as soon as she encountered the pale-complexioned 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 were not open to general guests.
As he walked down the hallway, ‘Bricky’ quietly looked at this pure-blooded vampire who was guiding him.
He could also feel the deteriorated blood that he 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 had already caught a piece of residual blood along the way, smelled it, tasted it slightly, and checked in various ways…
but I could not figure out the cause of the change.
‘The person in question didn’t seem to know the details either.’
An ‘evolution’ that is much more advanced than the original in many directions due to factors that even one cannot understand.
That’s why she came here in person.
Lord would know more about the cause of this.
Knock—
“I brought you Mulo.”
In the deep part of the mansion they arrived at, they were finally able to face each other.
With the clan’s former Lord Mulo Brokoslak.
“It’s been a while, Mulo.”
“Welcome, Brokoslag.”
The clan’s progenitor, Holy Blood, ‘Broccoslak’.
She finally came here in person.
