New, No. 6 (3)
Theo touched the blue light with his fingertips and muttered softly.
‘Rhodi, no matter how I look at this.’
“Is it because my body is weak? I don’t know. Should I boil some medicine and take it?”
He acted weak, which was unusual for Lordbroke.
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
‘Are you saying this because I asked you to pull out my ribs?’
『I feel dizzy too. I see! Your heart is not fully repaired yet, so you have anemia. This and that. I want to do what you asked, but if I pull out your ribs, you’ll bleed a lot again, right?』
‘I won’t let that happen.’
『Do you know how dangerous anemia is? If excessive bleeding is severe, even a dragon will die!』
‘Then I will transfuse my blood. It seems that when you awaken as a dragon, your blood will also contain the dragon’s factor?’
“Mooo …
‘I understand, so just confirm this. Okay?’
『Yes. It is true that there are traces of the use of <relics>.』
Roadbroke ended up sounding like a very hoarse voice.
But in the end, the aftereffects of this scene were not insignificant.
‘Following the Dragon Sword, another unsealed relic has appeared… … But the fact that Gardner is using it means that Kindred is also involved.’
Even though Theo wasn’t particularly interested in Hangryongjeon.
I had a strong feeling that I had to meet Kindred.
But before that, we need to rescue Shelford and Arin, who disappeared first.
“What Gardner is trying to do is very simple.”
Bracken said with cold eyes.
“The establishment of Kinkarnon.”
“Are you saying you are planning a coup? Or are you trying to assassinate me or subdue me and force me out of office?”
If you suppress the Baek Gap Yong Gi Dae, which can be called Theo’s hands and feet, and continue the momentum from winning the Hangryongjeon, it might be worth a try.
I don’t know what happened after that.
As expected.
Just like Theo’s thoughts, Bracken also snorted lightly.
“You’re forcibly dragging down the Sogaju that Kyle personally nominated? Where would you find such a novel method?”
“Then what is it?”
“I don’t know the exact details. However, I heard that Kinkarnon will be able to obtain <Qualification>.”
“qualifications?”
“That’s right. So you’re qualified to sit on the throne?”
qualifications.

Theo didn’t have much of an idea.
Does this mean that he will try to lead the competition for the throne again by achieving some great feat?
‘Or is it… … does it have something to do with this blue light?’
If that ‘qualification’ is related to using the relics of the Ancient Dragon, the story becomes complicated.
Just like the Gwangryongje, Kinkarnon may have learned how to forcibly release relics.
“I heard that the Gardner family’s blood wraiths ran off somewhere. Could you tell me in which direction… …!”
It was the moment when Theo was about to ask the inspector a question.
Suddenly, the patrol inspectors split up and prosecutors in yellow uniforms appeared.
“I came from the law court.”
“I have received a report that Gardner’s inspectors were ambushed. I would like to ask for your cooperation in the investigation.”
They were cautious because of Theo, but they were also cleverly guarding the surroundings so that the Baek Gap Yong Gi Unit members would not be able to easily escape.
‘They struck first over there!’
The fact that Shelford’s group and Gardner’s inspectors were having a meal together, and then there was an explosion and Gardner’s inspectors muttered something incomprehensible and disappeared, is something Theo already knows.
So, it seems like they are trying to catch them by reporting it separately to the Legal Affairs Office.
‘Why?’
For a moment, Theo couldn’t understand what the guys were thinking.
Even if a report was made in a situation where there was no evidence, Baek Gap-yong’s unit would be released after a simple investigation.
It means that it is impossible to frame someone.
And yet you did this?
What is the reason?
‘Just to kill time?’
That was the only thing that came to mind right away.
‘There’s something to hide in between!’
It’s probably something to do with the relics.
That is, it might have something to do with the sudden disappearance of the Shelford group.
“There are many eyes watching here. Would you like to come with me to the Torah?”
“This is the second unit leader of the Baek Gap Yonggi Unit, It Bolseman. The rescue signal flare went off, and instead, we were the ones who went missing, so why are you blaming us?”
“We are only acting as reported. We received a report from Gardner, and we have confirmed the witness report that Sogaju Diego ran away with serious injuries. We are only investigating the truth, not trying to charge Baek Gap-yong with the crime.”
“We have to find the agents.”
“Do you have any information or evidence regarding the whereabouts of the missing agents?”
“That is… … still under investigation.”
“You say there is none. Then we will have to go to the legal office together. We will conduct a separate investigation of the scene, so if we find anything, we will share it with you immediately.”
Eat bit his lower lip and glanced at Theo.
This was because he knew that if he forcibly moved to find Shelford’s party here, he would come into conflict with the Law Offices.
It was frustrating and driving them crazy, but the Law Office had to follow its procedures.

And in Winterer the words of the law court were very harsh.
Eventually, Theo stepped forward.
Buck!
A simple step.
but.
[‘Skill: Drake Fear’ is activated, spreading waves to the surrounding area.]
Thanks to Theo’s skill that he secretly activated, the surrounding area became filled with his color.
The legal examiners found themselves taking a step back without realizing it.
Theo’s spirit, as well as the weight of the title of Sogaju, made them nervous.
Of course, he was only being polite and did not change his decision.
Even if the Sogaju was great, it was still just a Sogaju. It had no authority to impose sanctions on the Legal Department.
To that extent, the Office of the Inspector General was an independent body.
They took pride in the fact that they were legal examiners.
“Let me respond to the investigation.”
“Theo!”
“Sogaju!”
The agents looked back at Theo in a hurry, but Theo stopped them with a light raise of his hand.
“Instead, don’t we all have to go to the Law Courts?”
“that…….”
“Yes, that’s right.”
When the person who seemed to be the lowest ranking one among the legal examiners started to show his discomfort, his superior quickly stepped forward and nodded.
“We also need to search quickly. And the Baek Gap-yong Unit will also file a separate complaint against Gardner.”
“Is that a small business or not?”
“This is an accusation made in the capacity of the 6th Squadron Commander of the Baek Gap Yonggi Unit. There are five superiors, including Shelford Gardner and Arin Negative. So I think I am qualified enough?”
One of the powers held by direct superiors was to take various measures to protect their subordinates.
Theo actively used his authority by secretly assigning them to the 6th group.
The law examiners realized that Theo was delving into Ragnar’s code in more detail than they had thought.
“Diego Gardner, who claims to be a victim, is one of the perpetrators who has abused Shelford Gardner for a long time. Even after Shelford Gardner left the Gardner family and joined the White Armored Corps, he often used his maternal family as an excuse to threaten Shelford Gardner, and Shelford Gardner was always tormented by that. There may have been blackmail and threats related to that this time as well.”
“Do you have any evidence…?”
“If you ask Heukseol for the data, he will hand it over. It is a fact that has already been confirmed through several cross-checks.”
“… … !”
The pupils of the legal examiners shook violently.
If that were true, it wouldn’t be something to be easily overlooked.
Even though he was from Gardner, Shelford’s affiliation was clearly Ragnar. The fact that a member of the Gith family threatened a member of Ragnar was a clear insult to the great family.
A matter that may be treated as a felony.
‘If this is true, it’s a big deal!’

‘Gardner has dared to challenge the Lord’s authority!’
‘If we’re not careful, even Kinkarnon, who’s behind it, could get involved… …!’
It could have developed into a political issue with a fight for power.
『The request I made to the Black Dragon earlier has finally come to fruition.』
‘Because we have to thoroughly investigate Jo Won.’
Theo had asked Heukseol to conduct all the research on the people he needed in relation to the creation of the 6th Group.
It was because it was easier to lead them going forward if we knew the lives they had lived, their values, their ambitions, and what they needed.
And among them was the family history of Shelford.
Theo dug right into it and turned the tables.
『If we make the board this big, even if the other side has some kind of plan, they’ll end up being held back. It was a really clever move. Haha.』
‘We can’t waste time on trivial reports. It would be better to expand the scope and make it impossible for the Law Court to move around freely. They might also get caught up in plotting something.’
“Would you please go to the court of law on my behalf?”
“Okay… … right.”
Eatdo quickly realized that Theo had some plan and nodded heavily.
It occurred to them that there might be some hidden political conspiracy that they were unaware of.
In the end, the legal inspectors had no choice but to step back.
“Gorito-sama and Hanata-sama, please help me.”
“then?”
Theo nodded.
“I think I know where they went.”
If they really did use the relic, it was ultimately in Theo’s palm.
* * *
The site of the former Central Intelligence Agency was currently the site of a fierce battle between the Hangryong and the Hanryong.
Of course, the ones causing the biggest stir among them were the old six candidates.
-Wow! You finished it off with one shot and one kill again. How on earth do you use stealth in such an open space?
-Rage! Rage!
-Sister! Take me!
Leje showed off his skills that were worthy of his nickname, ‘Black Death’.
As soon as she stood in the arena, she activated her stealth technique, and while the sparring partner was wandering around unable to find her, she targeted her blind spot to knock her out or push her out of the arena.
Because of this, the match was often decided with just one swing of the sickle.
Naturally, the audience’s cheers were tremendous.
but,
– Mr. Leje is really amazing, but… … .
-Still, Kinkarnon is also amazing. I don’t think there is any comparison.
-You give off such an intimidating vibe just by standing there… … .

Although Rize enjoyed the cheers of the people, he couldn’t help but frown slightly at some of the words mixed in.
‘I’m really pissed.’
Leje saw Kinkarnon sitting on the waiting bench, drinking water and moistening his throat.
A wall that could not be overcome no matter how hard one tried.
I thought things were finally starting to get a little more even, but that person was still too far away.
Unlike himself, who actively uses stealth techniques, Kinkarnon did not show any special skills during the sparring.
He just stood there and swung his sword.
It was a series of simple movements, but it showed off tremendous spirit.
The other challengers who still remained also kept a wary eye on Kinkarnon.
Overwhelmed.
This Hangryongjeon was already becoming a match between Kinkarnon and other sparring partners.
‘No, that fox seems to be sticking close to Kinkarnon.’
Ansio was seen walking towards Kinkarnon with graceful steps. Behind him was Paeryeong.
Does this mean that the priestly relationship is no longer hidden?
Perhaps Ansio will offer Kinkarnon a deal in exchange for surrender and support.
Even Leje couldn’t have guessed what the outcome would be.
‘I can’t figure out what they’re thinking.’
Leje turned his gaze to the other side.
Among the few challengers left, some are hiding their identities.
A woman of small stature with a masked face and a comical expression.
Those with a keen eye have already figured out what her true identity is, but no one has mentioned it since she seems to have no intention of revealing it.
His skills were so outstanding that there were even cautious opinions that he might become Kinkarnon’s only rival.
And that side could also be called Theo’s faction.
Ultimately, whether intentional or not, the Hangryong War could be seen as a political proxy war between the Theo and Kinkarnon factions.
He was the only one here who had no faction.
It was a lonely fight.
‘That doesn’t mean we can be pushed back.’
Leje gripped the Grim Reaper tightly.
It ain’t over till it’s over.
What matters is an unwavering spirit.
She truly believed that.
