The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Gathering Interest (3)

That wasn’t a foretold meeting.

finish training.

After taking a breather, Roman confirmed that another servant, not Hans, was approaching.

“Sent from Valhalla.”

clearly.

The opponent was Dmitry’s servant.

He didn’t seem to have been working long since his face wasn’t familiar, but the servant was wearing the outfit Dmitry provided.

It must mean that he intentionally hid his identity.

If he was an ordinary person, he would have been embarrassed by making a fuss, but Roman said with a nonchalant face.

“What’s going on in Valhalla? I remember meeting someone from Valhalla a few days ago.”

Denver family.

They belong to the Valhalla Empire.

I remember offering my own conditions to recruit Roman, but I didn’t expect him to come back this way.

The servant was startled by Roman’s reaction.

There were some things that Roman was more calm than I thought, but it felt like I was breaking out in a cold sweat with his eyes that seemed to see through the inside completely.

‘What is a person’s eyes… … .’

I swallowed dry saliva.

The servant in charge of an important task made sure that no one else was around and said in a quiet voice.

“First of all, I am sorry to meet you in such a rude way. As Roman said, Valhalla sent someone through the ‘Denver House’ a few days ago. At that time, I had no choice but to take a formal action by being conscious of the eyes of the people around me. And you can think of today’s meeting as Valhalla’s sincerity.”

today.

Dmitri is the focus of people’s eyes.

I knew that if I had conveyed the main point through the Denver family, there would be a possibility that the information would leak out, and that if I showed a non-moving appearance externally, I would be suspicious of the hostile forces.

So, the Denver family asked for a formal meeting.

If Roman only accepted that condition, it would be really icing on the cake, but they knew Roman’s worth and knew that he would not accept it at once.

right after the Battle of Daejeonsa.

Valhalla planted a servant in Dmitri.

for today’s meeting.

When we moved to an enclosed space rather than an open training ground, the person from Valhalla immediately got to the point.

“I would like to greet you again. I’m McKean from Valhalla Intelligence. And I would like to take this opportunity to make a suggestion to take Roman Dmitri to Valhalla. This proposal is the sincerity of Valhalla.”

unexpected encounter.

Valhalla.

They made the first decision.

After Willas’ report.

Roman was upgraded to Class A.

Valhalla was preparing to recruit Roman, but the ripple effect of rankers was greater than expected.

in a rapidly changing situation.

Willas once again contacted the home country.

“I think we need to approach Roman sooner than planned. I briefly overlooked what kind of country Cairo is. Contrary to the thought that if you do not disclose the fact that you are a 4-star prosecutor in your 20s, you will be able to buy time. The Royalists, the Aristocrats, and the Kronos Empire. They are moving quickly to contact Roman Dmitry. If Roman overlooks his own value and accepts their offer first, we may face the worst ending of missing Roman’s real value even after recognizing it.”

[So what do you need?]

“Please give me full control over this matter. I will definitely recruit Roman.”

[All right. Willas I will entrust you with full authority regarding the recruitment of Roman.]

The plan has changed.

Cairo’s youngest ranking.

The fact that he reached the 3-star level at the age of 25 attracted people’s attention even though it was not Roman’s power.

Fire fell on Valhalla’s feet.

first.

They saw the liver through the Denver family and sent one more time out of sight.

McKean said.

“Valhalla fell in love with Roman Dmitri’s potential. However, the issue of nationality cannot be easily resolved, and I think it will be even more difficult to abandon Dmitri, who has already achieved considerable wealth, and become a naturalized citizen in Valhalla, no matter what proposals are made. So, we will definitely solve this problem. The moment Roman Dmitri said he would become a citizen of Valhalla. Valhalla will give you the title of Viscount and a fertile territory for the Dmitry family. Like Dmitri, the land along the iron mine will be able to maintain the blacksmith’s life as it is now.”

family continuity.

Their proposal was unconventional from the start.

It is the title of an empire, not a kingdom.

It means unparalleled power, and that alone overwhelmed previous proposals.

and.

“Valhalla is ready to offer sacrifices to those who desire people. But the most important value as a prosecutor is to be strong. In Valhalla, I hope that Roman Dmitri-nim will become stronger as a swordsman, so I will allow the first-class treasury to enter. I’m sure Roman Dmitry knows that too. What does Valhalla’s report mean? If you come into contact with the knowledge of your ancestors accumulated there, Roman Dmitry will be able to soar high with wings to his talent.”

First class report.

It was a shocking proposal.

Valhalla kept things like the diary of the ancestors of simbeop and swordsmanship in the treasury.

Reports were graded according to the level of content, and the highest grade was grade 1, except for express reports.

A place where treasures that others will never see in their lifetime are gathered.

Saying that they would let strangers into such a place was the same as saying that the Valhalla Empire recognized the value of Roman as much.

Valhalla revealed her true intentions.

Avoiding public notice, they made an offer they could never refuse.

“Later. Valhalla will conquer the continent and stand tall as the only empire. At that time, being a member of a weak country like the Cairo Kingdom is a shortcut to hastening the people. Be on the side of Valhalla. If you raise Valhalla’s honor at the vanguard of Valhalla, Valhalla will lead Roman Dmitri to the path of glory.”

A sure reward and appropriate blackmail.

McKean spoke of the distant future.

As he said, it didn’t matter how strong Roman was on the day Valhalla declared war.

one individual.

The difference between kingdom and empire cannot be crossed.

In order to become a winner, it was one way to stand on the side of the winner.

‘A clever person would have no choice but to accept Valhalla’s offer. But if you refuse the offer… … .’

McKean hid his true feelings.

A talent that reached 4 stars in his 20s.

We cannot stand by and stand by as it is absorbed into other forces.

If it couldn’t be Valhalla’s, it would have been wiser to destroy it.

A space where silence lingers.

After McKean closed his mouth and waited for an answer, Roman broke the suffocating silence and spoke.

“I will refuse.”

Moment.

McKean’s benevolent expression turned ferocious.

“… Are you serious?”

McKean’s voice trembled slightly.

If he refused even after doing this, Roman was in fact a type that Valhalla could not recruit.

That is to say.

target of assassination.

If it wasn’t for Valhalla’s talent, there was no reason to keep him alive.

Roman said.

“The reason I refuse is not lack of conditions or loyalty to this country.”

“… what is that?”

“Recently I have been offered many options. Royal Knight of the Royal Family Benedict the Marquess Gregory the Earl of Denver. Considering the situation in the Kingdom of Cairo, it means not simply swearing allegiance to one faction, but clearly organizing the next move. I am now at a crossroads in my life. What matters to me is not who can give me much. I want to take the time to see for myself whether a man named Roman Dmitri is worth risking his life for.”

in Roman’s words.

McKean’s expression softened.

It was an intended picture.

Roman knew how to act to buy time in a situation where he was on a tightrope.

‘How to increase your own value without making any choice. That’s what makes it look like a loyal loyalist. It is difficult to kneel once, but if you manage to win her heart, you will swear allegiance to the end. If you see me as such, no matter how much I reject you, you won’t be able to give up your obsession with me.’

The heavenly demon, Baek Joong-hyeok.

It wasn’t a stupid bear.

If it’s a hostile relationship, you’ll see an end for sure.

In such a complex situation where four forces are intertwined, he was gifted with a brain that knew how to use the relationship.

at the words of the fox.

McKean was troubled.

A person like Roman was a talent that Valhalla really liked.

‘The irony of life. If Roman Dmitri quickly changes his mind and pledges allegiance to Valhalla, his loyalty will always be questioned, regardless of his skills. The perception of him as a guy who changes his affiliation depending on favorable conditions and circumstances will remain. However, regardless of the conditions, if you are a person who carefully chooses his future, even if it takes a little time, it will be worth the wait.’

I was heartbroken.

I had no idea that this was an intentional action.

Roman behaved perfectly for the talent Valhalla was looking for, and as a Mackin, his guard was relaxed.

McKean said.

“I don’t know how Valhalla intends to confirm his sincerity, but we can’t wait that long. Be careful, but don’t be late. Please reply to Valhalla’s proposal.”

That was it.

Valhalla took a step back.

They will watch over Roman from now on and will be in the illusion that he will become their person someday.

before leaving.

McKean turned around and said.

“I will give you a gift for future relationships. Watch out for the southern front. It’s like a time bomb that doesn’t know if the South will explode right away than the Kronos Empire.”

Southern Front.

That was unexpected information.

Roman’s response was appropriate.

Neither refusal nor acceptance.

Even in the confusion of answers that left room for all forces, there was no direct attack.

Time passed quickly.

Suddenly.

The time foretold has arrived.

Baron Romero said with a worried face at the appearance of his son who was about to fulfill his military duty.

“You are leaving at last.”

My heart ached.

All the powerful people in the capital use expedient methods to somehow prevent their children from being hired, but the Dmitri family did not have the power to do so.

The influential people in the northeastern region are just frogs in the well.

Until now, there was no way to get Roman off because he had not been able to form a connection with the central government.

and.

In the first place, even Roman didn’t want it.

I knew that if I turned away from the reality that I had decided to deal with, the responsibility would be passed on to someone else.

“father. I will return in good health.”

“okay.”

Conversation was short.

Roman took a step back.

Outside, 30 soldiers were waiting for Roman to leave for the battlefield.

Roman leaves like that.

Emotions were complicated.

When he was in trouble, he was a person of love and hatred, but when he was about to leave, he could not easily look away.

to look like that.

Rihanna, who was by his side, comforted Baron Romero.

“Do not worry too much. You know very well that Roman is a strong child. And not the Western Front threatened by the Kronos Empire, Roman was assigned to the Southern Front. Surely there will be no problems.”

At least it was a comforting word.

I didn’t know then.

Southern Front.

What kind of result will Roman’s campaign return?
