Chapter 128 Finding the Demon (5)

Before Frontier could reply, Colin spoke again.

“But before I offer a deal.”

He raised both hands.

“There are some doubts. “I want to make sure of that.”

“what?”

“The smart people I’ve seen so far were that alert. When you enter this deep underground, you are bound to be scared. “I came down the deep stairs, and the room was only this big.”

Colin opened his raised hand wide. Just to show how small this room is.

“People who noticed that soon noticed another fact. There are blank walls on all sides of this room, with no objects on them. “People who saw the wall being torn from above can roughly predict the structure of this room.”

“….”

Frondier simply remained silent in response to Colin’s explanation.

Colin continued talking.

“Why did you come down here? “You knew it would be dangerous here, so why did you come down here without any escort from the upper floor?”

“Now, wait a minute. Colin.”

Realizing that the atmosphere there was quite different, Carla opened her mouth.

But Colin’s eyes are fixed on the frontier.

“I want to know your worth, Brother Frondier.”

Frondier scratched his cheek with one finger.

‘I found it much simpler than a blank wall and all.’

Frondier felt it long before he reached this room.

His sixth sense responded to life beyond the door.

I knew that once I entered the room, I would be surrounded by murderous creatures from all sides.

So, I was rather surprised by how small the room was. Because living is outside of this room.

“As you might have guessed, you are a rat in a poison right now.”

“Colin! “Why are you doing this!”

Carla said in confusion. Colin glanced at her.

“I have been very satisfied with my dealings with the President so far, but I am now in such a difficult situation that I cannot care about trivial trust.”

Then I look at Frontier again.

“Mr. Frontier de Roach.”

“…You received my information.”

Frondier said.

Colin said he was also an information merchant. So, this means that they obtained information about Frontier first.

We still don’t know who it is or what information they received, but it seems to have been enough to at least recognize Frontier as a ‘dangerous person’.

But at the same time, Colin also said he wanted to do another deal.

There are fierce enemies everywhere, and in front of you is a strange merchant who gathers them together and proposes a deal.

Frondier raised his head.

“…eight.”

“!”

A short word from Frontier. However, Colin raised his head at that one word.

‘I accurately guessed the number of people hiding behind the wall.’

While Colin was thinking, Frontier spoke.

“You said you wanted to know my worth.”

Frondier raised a finger. A small amount of black water gathered in front of him. A total of eight black cloths arranged in the shape of water drops.

“If their lives are not that important, I can tell you as much as I want.”

“….”

“If you want to know the value of others, you must first prove your own value.”

Frontier’s eyes and expression are similar to Colin’s.

Colin has mild emotional changes and reactions. The moment Frontier saw Colin like that, he realized that he was similar to him.

Broadly speaking, Choline is similar to Frontier, Philly, or Quinier.

What all of these people have in common is that they are very reliable as allies, but they are very difficult to make as allies.

So Frontier knows.

“Isn’t that so? For information.”

How to treat Colin.

At least I know it will be easier than Philly.

“….”

Colin closed his eyes for a moment.

After a moment, he lightly raised his hand. Then, the murderers towards the Frontier gradually retreated.

“You are well trained.”

“It’s not training. “It’s a cooperative relationship where everyone comes together to survive.”

“Making it move with just a wave of your hand?”

“I too move with just one gesture from their hands.”

indeed. It seems like the relationship is stronger than expected.

“okay. There’s a lot more space here than this room, right? Considering that it has come down this far, there is a possibility that there are layers above and below. “It’s bigger than I thought.”

“Please refrain from making excessive inferences. “I’m scared that everything will be found out.”

“Then will you at least make a scared face?”

Frondier smiled at Colin’s still calm face.

“Can you explain it one by one? “You must have a lot to tell me.”

“of course. “I already decided that it would be beneficial to me.”

Colin was extremely calm even when he was putting pressure on Frontier and vice versa.

Frondier was concerned about whether that simplicity came from courage or judgment, but it was not important right now.

“As I said before, I am in a very difficult situation right now. “It was like that from the moment he arrived at me.”

“You expected me to be Frontier di Roach.”

“Because a person appeared who was completely identical to the information I received.”

“What information was it?”

Colin lifted his eyes for a moment as if recalling a memory.

“The information was, ‘A jet-black man who carries around several ridiculously beautiful women, he is Frontier di Roach.’”

“….”

“Honestly, I didn’t think it was a very rare case for a man to have multiple beautiful women, but I thought there was a lack of information, but I knew it as soon as I saw it.”

“….”

“There were so many incredibly beautiful women.”

“stop. Because I understand.”

Frondier sighed.

Although it was somewhat absurd information, I found out something.

‘That provider knows my situation to some extent.’

That Frontier is coming to the capital.

When you come, you will find the mask.

The person who will guide you to where to purchase the mask is Carla.

That collar will definitely come to find Colin.

Only if I knew all of this information would I approach Colin and give him the information, and no one else.

‘Is there anyone who would know all that information?’

The most suspicious thing is the antenna. I know of the existence of Frontier, and I also know that it is related to Kala.

Above all, he was the one who got beaten up by Frontier. Of course, the desire for revenge is burning brightly.

Antero has no memory of Bune, the demon he contracted with. Because Antero wanted that. Therefore, the fight with Frontier would have been appropriately dramatized in my memory. But the memory of victory would not have been overshadowed.

On the other hand, he must have somewhat forgotten how badly he lost.

‘Antero is a paladin or something, so he would naturally know the current situation in the capital. There’s nothing strange up there. But how do I know that there are many women around me?’

Frondier has never shown a woman other than Kala to Antero or his demon, Bune.

Looking at the situation, the most suspicious guy is Antero, and he knows information that he shouldn’t know.

Frondier thought for a moment and then asked.

“Who is the provider of that information?”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you that.”

Colin’s expression did not move at all.

“…good. Let’s say you don’t know, so what does the provider say?”

Frontier has lost interest in the provider. If you don’t know now, the following information is more important than making a futile effort to find out.

Colin frowned as if troubled by Frondier’s reaction.

“…You are a very difficult opponent, brother.”

“Why do you call me that brother?”

“Male customers like this title.”

…What kind of prejudice is this?

Wouldn’t it be just a prejudice to say that it has been working well so far?

“For your information, I do not recommend calling women ‘sister.’ “He hated it so much.”

“I will not. “I’m not even a merchant.”

“Maybe one day you’ll think of a title like that?”

Frontier calls someone sister. Frontier himself had no imagination.

Colin rolled his eyes as if he was thinking about something, then sighed and said.

“Actually, the information provider is a paladin named Charon.”

Charon.

The person Frondier should check first, who is said to have received Poseidon’s divine power.

However, Charon knew of Frontier’s existence first and provided information to Colin.

Although it was somewhat shocking, Frondier said without showing it.

“You suddenly speak so coolly.”

“It has no meaning anymore since it’s attached to my brother.”

What does that mean? Colin said when Frontier tilted his head.

“Caron told me to report when my brother comes. He said he wouldn’t worry about anything else. “I told them to do whatever they wanted, whether it was a deal or something else.”

“Then you can do that. Why are you confessing everything to me?”

Colin shrugged his shoulders in response to Frontier’s question.

“I stick to the stronger side.”

“…You speak very calmly. “The opponent is a Paladin. Are you sure that I am stronger?”

“It is the virtue of a merchant to lie down while looking for a place to lie down.”

Colin looked at Carla.

“It’s thanks to you, Kala, that you can look at other people for such a long time, right?”

“…!”

Carla’s eyes widened in surprise.

Frondier said.

“Did you know about the problem with the collar?”

“I don’t know. I just knew that I unconsciously didn’t try to look at others well. Well, that happens often because people have different tendencies, but Mr. Carla’s behavior was pathological. Beyond not making eye contact, I tried not to look at any part of others at all.”

Colin’s eyes softened a little.

“But now there is no hesitation in seeing me. I don’t know what the problem was, but Carla is a long-time customer of mine. “If you’ve solved that person’s problem, it’s only right to want to support them.”

Frontier admired him.

Colin does not find out with special abilities, but rather acquires information with old observation skills.

“Now you probably know that I’m in trouble. “If I don’t report that you are here, Charon will come looking for me the moment your group starts wearing masks.”

“If I had just reported it, I wouldn’t have been in trouble at all.”

“If something goes wrong with you, I think he’ll eventually realize that I’ve been speaking loudly.”

Is this a feeling you developed as an intelligence merchant?

In that case, it must be said that Colin was born with a natural talent as an information merchant.

However, regardless of that, Colin’s current situation is not a problem that can be dismissed as simply difficult.

“Do you know how dangerous a thorny path you are walking down?”

According to Colin’s words, when Frontier arrived at this store, Colin was put in a prisoner.

If you hide Frondier’s location, Charon will come to retaliate against Colin, and if you report Frondier’s location, Frondier himself will come back. For Colin, both would be a terrible nightmare.

Among those two nightmares, Colin was the one who took refuge in Frontier to avoid Charon.

“So you said it? It’s difficult. That’s why we’re proposing a new deal.”

After saying that, Colin stood up. Then he rummaged through a drawer on another shelf, took out something rolled up and spread it out on the table.

It was a map.

Frontier looked at it with interest.

‘It’s a proper map, unlike the one I used when I came here. The topography of the capital and the locations of various facilities are written in detail.’

The scale was written correctly, and the symbols on the map were used for this country.

“Charon came to me, the information he conveyed, the strange abnormal air current currently flowing in the capital, and the man who happened to be the same information I came across. “When these pieces come together, even a child knows what’s going on.”

Colin wrote two names in the center of the capital city drawn on the map. Hera and Aphrodite.

The representatives and goddesses of each force are currently split into two factions. And in the middle of it, Colin writes Poseidon’s name.

“This is not a minor quarrel. It is a sign of civil war.”
