The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 344

Chapter 344

Even before Belladrina spoke, Seonghyun had remembered upon seeing Balthar.

But to think she would drop such a bombshell.

He was flustered.

But he thought it was possible.

Belladrina smiling quietly, Balthar not knowing what to do, and even Helena laughing as if enjoying watching the whole situation.

It was total chaos.

What should he do about this.

“Umm.”

While Seonghyun spoke as if pondering.

Suddenly, a strange thought occurred to him, and Seonghyun asked.

“Belladrina?”

At Seonghyun's light call, Belladrina answered immediately.

-Yes, Your Majesty.

“......Your Majesty?”

He had been called Lord or My Liege, but Your Majesty.

Isn't that a bit awkward?

As Seonghyun was thinking that.

Belladrina answered as if it weren't so.

-You are the rightful master of all demons and an emperor, so it is not insufficient to call you Your Majesty.

“I, I see.”

-Yes, please give your command.

Looking at Belladrina treating him with utmost respect, Seonghyun asked, feeling a bit awkward.

“I see you accepted me as your master right away, is there a reason?”

This was exactly what Seonghyun was curious about.

It was the case with Drakhanos too.

He couldn't ask because he didn't know what he was saying.

But communication was possible with Belladrina.

So he asked.

He could hear an unexpected answer.

-Pardon? The Overlord, the master of all demons, has called, and receiving a command is in itself a blessing and an honor. If there is anyone who does not do so, that person would be a shameless wretch and unbefitting of a demon.

Watching Balthar flinch at every single word of Belladrina and not knowing what to do, Seonghyun chuckled and nodded his head.

It seemed Balthar was also restless, reminded of the past.

Well, let's just move on.

Just as Seonghyun was thinking that and about to move on.

A new text appeared before his eyes.

[A 『Pass』 has been issued to User 『Seonghyun』.]

[A 『Pass』 is a special authority that allows you to move to higher-level areas as you please.]

[Please contact us if you have further inquiries.]

Seonghyun grinned at the text that looked just like a direct message sent from the game company.

He got what he wanted, so he couldn't help but be pleased.

The regrettable thing was.

The problem was that he had no use for it right now.

Still, it's good to have it anyway.

Seonghyun thought so and spoke while looking at the gathered vassals.

“Ahem, anyway, I called you all partly because Belladrina joined us, but also because there is work to do.”

The vassals' eyes changed immediately at Seonghyun's words.

Especially Belladrina's eyes shone brightly.

Because it was a very good opportunity to show her performance after being newly summoned.

Looking around at the faces of the vassals with shining eyes, Seonghyun told them.

What this mission was about.

To find the intelligence knights moving under the orders of the Sword Saint or the demons in Badia.

And to figure out what they were plotting afterward.

‘Originally, I intended to find out about Hindel's past.’

But he had already found out most of the things and even experienced them.

Besides, didn't Black Star say that the Sword Saint was plotting something?

To find out such things in Badia, it was necessary to figure out where the intelligence knights were.

If he could just figure that out.

He would be able to obtain quite a lot of information.

‘Since it's the intelligence agency of the Rieskan Kingdom.’

Of course, infiltrating wouldn't be easy.

Well, believing they could manage somehow, Seonghyun said to the vassals.

“We will travel in pairs. I plan to organize it mainly around those who can use stealth......”

As Seonghyun said that and looked at the newly joined Belladrina.

Belladrina smiled freshly at Seonghyun and said.

-I can also use stealth, Your Majesty.

“Hmm, then I'll form the teams, and since Belladrina is new, a vassal to go with her......”

Just as Seonghyun was about to assign Sibren or someone else.

Belladrina said with shining eyes.

-Your Majesty, I apologize for being presumptuous, but may I team up with that shameless wretch, no, Balthar?

“......With Balthar?”

-Yes, that is correct.

“......?”

He had tried to pair her with another vassal because he thought it would be uncomfortable with Balthar.

But she wants to team up with Balthar?

When the puzzled Seonghyun looked at Belladrina, Belladrina just smiled at Seonghyun.

She showed no particular reaction.

On the other hand.

Seeing the called Balthar trembling like a leaf.

He thought there was definitely something going on.

That's why just as he was wondering if he should leave it be.

-Let the two of them do it, I think it'll be fun.

Helena spoke up slyly, and Seonghyun looked at Helena as if puzzled.

Make them a team because it seems fun?

‘It would be fun though.’

Seonghyun thought so and made the two a team.

The dark red skin of Balthar turned completely pale.

But no one cared.

Thus, a total of five teams: Helena and Seonghyun, Sibren and Nuartain, Fiora and Leonik, Silvanor and Barpur, and finally Belladrina and Balthar, were infiltrating Badia.

2.

The city Badia, which had waged war with Wirun countless times.

However, this time, having suffered indelible damage, the entire Badia was silent as the dead.

Seeing that the lord serving as the mayor of Badia also stayed quiet without showing any particular movement, it seemed they had suffered considerable damage.

It was Wirun where one side of the castle wall had collapsed.

But it was none other than Badia where the entire city was in a slump.

It was hard to even estimate how much damage there was.

Also, since the knight orders and various forces disappeared almost at once as if annihilated.

The sense of loss was indescribable.

“What will happen.”

“Since it ended up like this in the midst of a sudden war.”

“Huu, wasn't it a war that wasn't originally planned? I heard that from above......”

“What?! Th, the Sword Saint?!?”

“Shhh!!!”

People were pretending not to know.

But the majority knew.

That this current situation was due to the misjudgment of the Rieskan Kingdom, and the Sword Saint at that.

It was something they shouldn't have known originally.

But a few people were spreading rumors.

It was the doing of Wisel helping Seonghyun.

But no one knew that.

Meanwhile, among those people, there were those looking around while maintaining invisibility.

-Hmm, we don't need to look around here anymore.

-Ahem, th, that seems so.

Belladrina spoke casting magic so that only the two of them could hear, and Balthar, who was thoroughly discouraged by Belladrina's words, answered shrinking back.

Whether Balthar was like that or not, Belladrina summoned transparent familiars while maintaining invisibility to quickly gather information and scattered them around.

To obtain information from the surroundings at all times.

As Belladrina acted casually like that.

Balthar also cleared his throat and tried to move to do his job.

-Ahem, I will check over there.

Just as Balthar said that and was about to look around, Belladrina glared at him with sharp eyes and said.

-An escort widening the distance leaving the mage behind? Still thoughtless as ever.

-.......

Honestly, he thought a skilled person like Belladrina would be fine even without an escort, but Balthar quietly turned his body back without saying much.

Since he knew well enough what grudge she held.

It would be good for his safety to stay quiet.

He also wondered if she was keeping him too close to take revenge.

But Balthar didn't say anything.

And Belladrina was acting as if nothing was wrong.

Of course, it wasn't that she felt nothing inside.

‘Although I want to take revenge on this guy Balthar, I must not cause trouble for His Majesty.’

Although it was something from a very long time ago.

Her anger was still burning like an active volcano, no, like hellfire.

But that was something she could deal with later.

Since too much time had already passed.

Waiting a little longer there wouldn't cause any particular problem.

Now was the time to show results to Seonghyun, who had newly become her lord.

It was true that she didn't care about Balthar at all.

How long had it been since she handled the familiars?

-Found them.

-......A, already?

-This is actually late. I shall report to Your Majesty.

Balthar swallowed hard watching Belladrina, who handled it with lightning speed.

As expected, her skills were still amazing.

Competence on a different dimension from Balthar, who only knew melee combat as a knight.

Moreover, she was considerable even when compared to Serphina, who was of the same magic class.

As Belladrina made her report.

-Your Majesty, I have found their garrison.

-??????

-First, I have infiltrated with familiars and am extracting information.

-Already?

Even Seonghyun, who was rarely surprised, asked back in surprise.

However, Belladrina made her report repeatedly without caring.

-Since I have infiltrated the familiars, I can obtain information at any time.

-......Then let's gather for now and see what they are doing.

-Yes, we will be there soon.

-Huh? We can go to you.

-We cannot cause trouble for Your Majesty. We will go to you.

-......Okay.

Seonghyun shut his mouth at Belladrina's loyalty, and subsequently, she frowned and shouted at Balthar, who was standing blankly behind her.

-Let's go, shameless wretch.

-Ah, understood.

Thus, Belladrina and Balthar moved and headed towards Seonghyun, and in the meantime, Belladrina did not miss a single thing the guys were gathering and talking about.

3.

Badia with a stagnant atmosphere.

Behind the city, amidst the current that gave the illusion that the entire city had turned gloomy, there were those moving very busily.

Shashashat.

Pabat!

Without being caught in anyone's sight.

Moving like shadows, their appearance was secretive enough not to be discovered by anyone.

The place gathered like that was a huge warehouse, befitting a place where war was actively taking place.

However, unlike its appearance looking like a huge warehouse, the interior was a place where quite a few people were moving busily.

Those wearing black light armor moving busily where documents were stored.

The only Intelligence Knight Order of the Rieskan Kingdom.

It was a knight order without even a name.

The reason they were so busy?

It was simple.

Since they were the Intelligence Knights, one of the Sword Saint's direct knight orders.

It was natural to become busy at every single command of the Sword Saint.

It was the same now.

Since it was an Intelligence Knight Order, they didn't shout at each other, but those who could be called executives were gathered in a conference room moving busily.

And stories were being exchanged secretly there.

“......Dispatched to Nocturn.”

“We must dispatch at least three executives.” 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

“Since it is a matter of finding the successor of the Galaxy Sword Dance.”

“Why Nocturn of all places.”

“But we must do it.”

When such stories were being exchanged.

A transparent rat that no one here noticed was eavesdropping on it.

And Seonghyun, who was listening to the conversation through such a rat, muttered.

“The successor of the Galaxy Sword Dance is in Nocturn?”

This might be more useful information than I thought?

On top of that.

“We will move our knight order's base from now on.”

“Since Badia has been too exposed.”

“With this intelligence, we are moving to Nocturn.”

He was able to obtain even more substantial information than expected.
