Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 210

Episode 210. The iron-blooded guardian ‘Empire’ (4)

There are numerous secret routes for the imperial family within the imperial palace.

Worst case.

The intention was that even if the enemies came this far, the imperial family had to escape.

Since security was important, only the imperial family had to know the location of these passages…

How could a stranger know exactly the secret passages of the imperial palace?

“This nonsense…”

Beinstellen bit his lip at the shocking situation.

Surprisingly, the rest of the nobles were the same.

“I thought there was a secret passage in the meeting room too.”

“I’ve been attending meetings here for 30 years, but I never knew there was a gap there.”

“I just can’t believe it.”

While everyone was looking down the aisle and muttering, Abraham approached Mackenzie.

“Are you okay?”

Mackenzie’s face was still flushed with anger.

“Yes. It’s fine.”

Talk about not being insignificant.

but.

Abraham immediately grabbed McKensey’s arm.

“Big!”

A voice full of pain came out.

Abraham’s eyes narrowed.

“Rice, it’s nothing. I was slightly injured because I didn’t properly inject my magic power…”

Mackenzie made some excuses, but those words did not reach Abraham’s ears.

‘Could it be… this much?’

arm is broken

When I saw it with the naked eye, I judged that

it was almost the same number.

…that was a total miscalculation.

In that short moment, the bastard exploded with instantaneous mana that was difficult to notice.

That’s why I didn’t notice.

It is truly a natural and fast magic operation that gives goosebumps.

‘I guess he didn’t run away with his tail.’

Rather, if he had made up his mind, McKensey’s neck would be rolling on the floor.

Right then.

Beinstein, stained with rage, approached.

“Sir Abraham. Set up a pursuit party and chase after him. If you lose sight of the heretic, there is a risk that you will lose the trust of the surrounding kingdoms.”

“Your Excellency Duke. Before that, can I ask you one question?”

Abraham lowered his voice.

“Looks like you have something to say. Say it.”

“Should I turn him into an enemy?”

“What does that mean?”

“That’s the literal meaning. I think it’d be better to conciliate with us than to antagonize him and see blood.”

“Heh heh. He says he has skills that are quite usable, but he is nothing compared to you? Above all, with a great cause right in front of us, we can’t take the risk of harboring something we don’t even know where he came from. So right away, the pursuit team pack up.”

The seeds that had been thoroughly prepared for many years are finally ready to germinate.

Now, with just a little bit more, you will finally be able to greet the moment when you will rise to the position of the emperor, not the status of an aristocrat.

For that purpose, I sacrificed everything for over 10 years to make a plan.

For that, he joined hands with Murim, who had been fighting as an enemy all his life.

However, Abraham, who thought he would immediately affirm his words, was surprisingly quiet.

It was hard to find any self-confidence in the image of her biting her lips with a hardened face.

“…Are you going to worry so much?”

“To be honest, I think the odds of winning are 50/50.”

Odds ratio 50 to 50.

If it wasn’t Ebraham himself who said this, no one would have believed it.

It’s a natural story.

If the empire’s strongest knights were only talking about a half-and-half win rate, who would say yes?

It is also against strangers seeing it for the first time.

“I see you’re serious.”

“Yes. Judging from his ability to control magic and break McKensey’s arm in one blow, he is by no means inferior to me.”

Only then did Beishteln realize that the new variable was much more serious than he thought.

“This… I’m going to have to completely remake the board.”

The worry didn’t last long.

“Gather all the leaders who participated in the uprising to my mansion. I think we’ll have a long talk over dinner. Of course, don’t forget to never let those loyal to the imperial family know.”

＊＊＊

Splash! with a splash!

After a long walk down the sewer.

Jinhyeok was able to come out into an alley on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

“Damn it…”

I just came here because I was afraid that if I used magic, there would be a reverberation, and my ankles were wet.

“Tsk tsk. Didn’t I tell you to be careful? I almost got filth on the noble wings of this body. Why is the smell so disgusting? It doesn’t suit me.”

Elise, who was on her shoulder, complained while covering her nose with her finger.

I came all the way here, struggling to die.

Only the mouth is alive on the subject that came comfortably.

Jinhyeok gently grabbed Alice’s wings.

Then he slowly reached out his hand towards the water.

“Kyaaaaagh! Let go. Now, hold on! It touches my feet. It touches my feet!”

Ellis struggled all over.

“I didn’t know the noble ancestor and brought him to such a shabby place. I really committed a mortal sin.”

“I’m sorry. Okay. Okay, so stop. Hey! These clothes are expensive!”

“Just one more time and I’ll let you test how good your cardiorespiratory skills are in the water. So be careful. I’m going to ask you a favor.”

“Ugh, ugh.”

“good.”

Jinhyeok placed Elise on his shoulder again.

After taking a breath, Elise opened her mouth again with a broken voice.

“So what are you going to do now?”

“What are you going to do?”

“Didn’t you say you were trying to be on the same side as the Empire?

okay. It’s easy to think so.

He stormed into a meeting room full of nobles and made a fuss, so by now the entire capital must be frantic to find him.

but.

“Rather, something I did made one of them interested in me.”

The empire is currently divided into aristocratic faction and emperor faction.

It is divided into two formations.

The Duke of Beinstelln and Mackenzie who fought just now belonged to the aristocratic faction.

In the empire, the people who had to be together were the opposite forces loyal to the emperor and the imperial family, not to them.

Sparks arose in the lethargic emperor’s eyes, so he made enough possibilities.

“Huh. Did you start working with all that in mind? It didn’t go as fast as I thought.”

“What the hell did you think of me?”

“That’s definitely evil… No, I think of him as a wonderful contractor that won’t exist again. It’s real.”

Seeing Jinhyeok’s fingers pointing to the wing, Elise hurriedly changed her words.

“But would it be possible to fight Murim with only the imperial family? I heard the duke had already joined hands with Murim?”

“That’s true too, but we don’t have to deal with the entire Moorim. Among them, there are cards we can use.”

The side that kept bumping into each other until now was Moorim, which consisted of the Ohdae family, the Gupailbang, and the Sapa.

However, there is another force here….

They are the Chunma Shinkyo, which ended its closure.

“Cheonma-ra… I’ve bumped into him a few times before. He’s really nasty. Even if it’s you, it won’t be easy to use, right?”

“That’s probably up to you.”

He’s tough to deal with, of course I know.

How can a guy with second grade disease who can spit out the mad line that there should be no one who disobeys him under heaven be obedient?

Even so, Jinhyeok was confident in putting that personality into the calculation.

“I always feel that. You are always full of confidence.”

“It’s just a surprise… Prepare sooner rather than later. We’ve arrived at our destination.”

No matter how big the capital is, it won’t be able to evade all the guards.

We need a place to stay while we are here.

And the place…

was already decided from the beginning.

Adjusted the amount of magic that Jinhyeok injected into Alice.

Whoa!

With the bright light, Elise’s height increased by nearly 160 cm.

“Are you here?”

“okay.”

rattle!

Jinhyeok opened the door of one of the countless shantytowns.

OK.

“You came just in time.”

A familiar voice greeted the two.

＊＊＊

A small room that can barely fit 4 people.

The person who occupied a corner of the old wooden table

was… …the Pennheimer I had met at the conference hall.

“Isn’t that too much for a safe house?”

Jinhyuk grumbled.

It’s not a four-bedroom, two-bathroom mansion, but I think this is a bit harsh.

Although his name is one of the 100 sword masters of the Empire, he is at the level of a guard.

“Ha ha. A place like this is rather inconspicuous. Both of you, come in quickly.”

As soon as Pennheimer brought Jinhyeok and Alice inside, he locked the door tightly.

“It’s shabby, but I’ve got enough to eat instead.”

From drinks such as water, wine, beer and tea.

From cheese and sausage bacon to various types of bread.

A dinner completely removed from the shabby interior was prepared.

Elise’s eyes flashed brightly.

For her, for whom food is the greatest happiness, food in a new world always makes her heart beat.

“Hoh. That’s not bad. The combination of this cheese and wine is quite satisfying.”

While Alice was mumbling with her cheeks puffed out like that.

Pennheimer looked at Jinhyeok with satisfied eyes.

It is a genuinely burdensome look.

“It seems that you liked the performance at the conference room quite a bit.”

“Of course. It must have been a very difficult request, but Jinhyeok-nim has achieved more than I expected.”

Press down the Royal Guard knights with overwhelming force.

He would even break Mackenzie’s arm, which is said to be tough and unmatched in the Empire.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen Sir Abraham, who was always easygoing, so flustered. Of course, Duke Weinstein’s expression was also worth seeing.”

At this point, further proof of credentials would be meaningless.

“I apologize for daring to test Jin-hyeok. I swear in the name of Ivac von Pennheimer that I will never doubt Jin-hyeok-sama’s ability again.”

thud!

Pennheimer got down on one knee toward Jinhyeok.

The sword held with both hands touched the wooden floor.

It is an action with an example from the article.

Jinhyeok was taken aback by this sudden action.

‘Is it possible to throw everything away for the sake of the empire’s revival?’

Otherwise, it would be unimaginable for a lofty knight to kneel down and apologize.

“Raise your head. I understand what you mean. Of course, if something like this happens again in the future, you will be held accountable for your oath.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“Then, now tell me what plan Penheimer-sama has in mind. How will the imperial family move from now on?”

“I don’t know if you know. We can never win this war in a situation where the power is divided.”

A serious story came out.

It was also the result of stabbing the essence and coldly judging reality

. Because the imperial family will never be able to secure a ‘base’ with military power.”

The first key point in the war against Murim is who secures the ‘body of giants’ located on the 29th floor

. It was a major base to establish a bridgehead in the territory, but

both forces could not easily attack this place because the momentum of the giants was so strong.

In the end, securing that area was the top priority in order to win.

“That’s right. You don’t know when the aristocrats will attack you. Above all, we know all the information about skilled sword masters.” What are their

specialties and favorite swordsmanship?

Even the restaurants they frequent

. It means that you can see through it clearly.

It is said that if you are a Jipi keeper, you will win 100 times, but if it only applies to the opponent, there will be nothing more frustrating than that.

So.

“I want Jin-hyeok-nim to take over that mission,”

said Pennheimer with a calm face. I spit out

… Huh?

Now what…?
