59 – Moonlight Clan (3)

The movement of the empire makes the continent shake.

Across all industries on the continent, including defense, diplomacy, and economy, there was no area that did not fall under them.

Among them, if I had to pick the biggest ripple effect, it would be the handling of the demon tribe related to the demon tribe.

A few weeks ago, after the Empire declared a ‘death war against vampires’.

The eyes of the empire’s warriors who had been given orders, as well as the continent’s famous warriors and the royal families and nobles of each country, were all focused on the empire at once.

“I did it secretly on purpose… .”

The Emperor’s bitter voice echoed throughout the room.

To ordinary people, demons are feared.

The Asmodian War is over and peaceful now.

There was no reason to instill fear in the public, so the story about the ‘killing war against vampires’ was handled in secret so as not to leak out as much as possible.

In particular, since vampires, a clan of vampires, were vicious demons that coexisted with humans, it was necessary to hide them from the point of view of information protection.

But after all, couldn’t the movement of the army be completely hidden?

The warriors of each country, who have been successful in the information of the demons, came to know this news in various ways before they knew it.

Information flows and flows like that, and the last place to reach is the royal family or the imperial family.

Thanks to this, secret envoys from various countries who carefully read the news were visiting the imperial family every day.

Just a moment ago, a secret envoy from the Kingdom of Denver requested an audience and went back.

“You’ll just have to wait in silence.”

The emperor shook his head with a tired expression.

Most of them ask about the same thing.

Did you really form a vampire killing party?

To what extent did you put the level of the warrior?

Did you get any new information about vampires?

How do you plan to go in the direction of dealing with demons in the future?

The way to ask is different, but if you look at the details, they are all like this.

Whether the newly emerged information of the demon tribe is helpful or harmful to one’s country.

That was the only thing the delegation was curious about.

Other than that, I’m trying to be polite, and I’m saying it around the corner as much as I can, but…

In the eyes of the emperor, whose intentions were clearly visible, they were only seen as a reckless and selfish tribe, blinded by information.

“your majesty. Knight Sir Ludgale Liquid and Sir James, president of the Alchemy Society, are requesting an audience.”

After taking a breather, the internal affairs officer outside the room spoke quietly.

In a conversation with a diplomatic mission that I thought was boring and useless.

Finally, the servants who entrusted the work requested an audience.

The emperor replied with a more welcoming face.

“Stop by.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The door opened, and two men dressed in formal attire entered the room.

““Meet Your Majesty.””

“The greeting was enough. So that I can do it from the report.”

At that, the two men got up on one knee and stood up straight away.

Rudgale took a step forward first.

“Your Majesty, God Ludgale Liquid. According to the contents of the report to His Majesty, we are carrying out what you have ordered.”

“I saw and heard. You’ve already killed nine vampires.”

“That’s right. Referring to the achievements and actions of the previous kill squad, we were able to kill a large number of individuals in the slash-and-burn village.”

“indeed. Does history repeat itself despite being caught multiple times?”

The emperor groaned and stroked his chin.

Since ancient times, the place where vampires usually hide is slash-and-burn villages where their identities are not well identified.

Because there are so many types and sizes of slash-and-burn villages, it is difficult to conduct accurate census as in cities.

Thanks to this, demons such as vampires, as well as wanted criminals, often hid in the slash-and-burn village.

Ludgale made good use of that gap, and the start of the kill operation was efficiently and smoothly.

“But there is a problem.”

“problem?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Did you read the report from the Slaughter Squad today?”

“No, I haven’t read it yet.”

Most of the various reports and documents submitted to the emperor are processed in the evening or on holidays.

The emperor hadn’t read any other report today, let alone the one Ludgale had posted.

Because of the polar envoys knocking on the door of the imperial family since morning…

It was because of the overlapping schedule.

“Excuse me for a moment, Your Majesty.”

Ludgale lowered her head once, and took out a large vial from the magic bag she had prepared in advance.

[Cache of Seal].

It was a magic tool that used magical power to store a specific object and prevent it from escaping without the help of the respondent.

Inside the vial, was a nasty-looking pale purple monster.

Its shape was so blurry that it looked like a ghost.

Eh-!

In an instant, a horrifying scream rang out from the medicine bottle.

It was the cry of a monster that could not stand the magic seal applied by the [Sealed Storage Box].

“What is it… ?”

If it’s a monster sealed in a magic tool, it’s probably a monster.

I guessed that…

The appearance of the monster I saw for the first time in my life,

The emperor asked in a puzzled voice.

To that, Ludgale calmly explained the monster’s identity.

“This monster is a demon called the phantom, called the Illusion Clan.”

“Phantom? Are you saying it’s not a monster, but a demon?”

“That’s right. They often appear in human dreams or create subtle visual illusions, so we rarely see them with our own eyes.”

Phantom.

The emperor had also heard the name.

A monster that eats human dreams.

A clan of illusions that dominates the visual field.

Due to the nature of not easily revealing itself, it was quite notorious among warriors during the war.

However, no matter how good the concealment technique is, in the end, demons are demons.

In the last Demon War, which ended with the victory of mankind, all the phantoms were caught and annihilated, and the only remaining forces were the phantoms of the demon realm who did not participate in the war.

After the end of the last demon war.

The demons who hid among humans were only vampires, the blood-sucking clan.

The Emperor’s eyes were stained with agitation when he remembered that fact.

“no way… .”

“This phantom was found in the ‘Ghost Gate’, an E-level special gate located in the eastern part of Felix. A double gate was created with the phantoms dwelling inside the gate. I guess… It seems that the vampires have already succeeded in creating the double gate, Your Majesty.”

Concerns became reality.

The Vampire clan, the vampires, were using their [eternal tombstone fragments] and various mediums to create a ‘double gate’.

As for mankind, it had only been four years since the end of the Demon War, and we were in a situation where we had to fight against new demons again.

I expected it, but I couldn’t stop sighing at the results that appeared faster than I expected.

“Can not help it. It is impossible to prevent the double gate that has already occurred. I had no choice but to speed up the killing of the vampires as much as possible. Lord Liquid, concentrate on the killing spree, and keep reporting on the double gates that follow.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The emperor nodded slowly at Ludgale’s answer and turned to look at the other man.

It was James, the president of the Aphelice Empire Alchemy Society.

“Sir James. Did you, along with Lord Liquid, come to report on the double gate?”

“No, Your Majesty.”

As Ludgale stepped back from his conversation with the Emperor, James took a step forward.

“your majesty. Do you know Sir Paul Stern, president of the Tyrpe Alchemy Society?”

“What are you going to ask? Aren’t they the three most famous alchemists in Tyrpe?”

Ariel Tyrpe, the vice-president of the Tyrpe Alchemy Society and the genius-talented princess of Tyrfe.

Marquis of Neculie Lokfilia, a golem alchemist who runs an alchemy shop called <Golem’s Pupil> and is at the top of the field.

And among the current Tyrpe alchemists.

Paul Stern, an alchemist who is considered to have the most outstanding skills and the president of the Tirpe Alchemy Society.

Now that Cloudy Lazur has disappeared and gone into hiding.

The three most famous and skilled alchemists in Tyrpe were the first three.

In addition, Cloudy was called the father of alchemy and was considered the best alchemist on the continent, so it was out of the question in the first place.

“I am conducting joint research with the Magic Society’s President Cheek on the Double Gate Incident… I was working on another business with Lord Stern of Tyrpe.”

“Another job?”

The emperor’s eyes were stained with wonder.

Anyway, the double gate research was all finished, so there were no big problems…

What kind of business do you have to deal with with the president of a foreign society?

As if to solve the question.

James nodded and went on.

“That’s right. It’s because I secretly received the news that I found traces of the missing alchemist, Cloudy Lazur, a few months ago.”

“… … !”

“… … !”

The eyes of both the emperor and Ludgale widened at the sudden name.

Cloudy Lazur.

The alchemist who disappeared 20 years ago, and the object of envy of all alchemists.

To the extent that even Ludgale Liquid, who made a name for himself by defeating the Demon King in the Demon War four years ago, had to give up in front of him… A warrior who was more famous than anyone on the continent.

James kept the heavy name in his mouth and continued to speak in a low voice.

“And a few days ago, Sir Stern and I. We have full knowledge of his whereabouts and where he currently resides.”

Perhaps the key to solving this double-gate crisis.

James was talking about the key.
