I Returned as an FFF-Class Witch Doctor

Episode 214

“Is it about this…”

Menod Plain, Dioraka border area.

Damian lay down on the back of the mechanical wagon and opened the system window. In his system window, a familiar shape of the continent map appeared.

Although there were not many active cities and roads, it was not a problem for him, who had a track record of traveling all over the continent.

Places that the original character has never been to are classified as < unexplored lands > and are not marked on the continental map, so it could be said that it was quite common for explorers or guide classes such as Silian TV to join the party.

There were even some who said that the end content of AC was to penetrate all the unexplored lands of the Continental Conversion.

Of course, Damian also once spent quite a lot of time and money for it, and used warp gates that cost tens to hundreds of thousands of gold to move once.

The means Damian was moving now was a mechanical wagon he had used before, and it had a speed that only idle rich people (= unemployed) would try.

Of course, it was because Damian invested a significant amount of money—or wasted it—but it was also because the number of village returns supported by < The Book of the Black Oath Calling the End > was also because he could not go to the place he had pioneered.

“Oops. I’m not the kind of person who can’t be contacted. Did something happen?”

[May be busy. Didn’t he say that he became the head of an organization?]

“That’s right, master! It’s different from anyone who is fooling around!”

“What?!”

When Mungchi agreed to Akrasia’s words, Damian rolled his eyes while lying on the luggage compartment. It looked like he was trying to look tough, but his form was so bad that even the seeds were not eaten.

Well, I’ve heard that < Iron Guard > is showing pretty good growth among the new clans on AOL and other community sites, too.

The fact that most clan members were made up of more than 90% of the production class was a pioneering feature compared to the production class clans that followed as late runners.

It was in the same context as attaching the names of ‘three generations’ and ‘original’ to long-established stores such as pig’s feet or soup restaurants.

Of course, Uncle Chunsam’s skill and reputation as a blacksmith must have been unmatched, but as usual, people were bound to trust the old tradition, which is the first or original.

“No matter how much it is, right now there are only three vice-lords and dozens of executives, so how can they be so busy that they don’t even receive a note?”

Tring!

So, Damian started scratching his sideburns as if he was embarrassed to look at the message that was not acknowledged again.

As he said, running the blood alliance was not only Kim Chun-sam’s job, and it was needless to say that there were dozens of executives assisting him right now.

“…hmm?”

Ugh! Whoa!

Eventually, an unfamiliar vibration resonated from Damian’s waist, which happened almost at the same time.

– Long time no see, honey? How have you been?

“Thanks. Maria’s face is always rotten… no, she’s beautiful, isn’t it?”

– Oh, is that a confession to me right now…? It’s too sudden. Maria, I’m ashamed to die…!

“…Oh, it’s not like that. What is it?”

Quaang! bang! bang! bang!

As strange explosions echoed from the other side of the crystal ball in succession, Damian stood up with a shy expression. Maria, whom he hadn’t been in touch with in a long time, still seemed full of vitality—he says, and writes madness.

The head guild member and leader of the Terra branch of the Adventurer Guild. In addition, he is the general manager of Summon Gate and an almighty solver who solves many problems within the guild.

In addition, the fact that she was Damian’s exclusive manager was one of the peculiarities that those who knew her in fact would tilt their heads at once.

Of course, because of Maria’s favoritism, Damian has seen many benefits, and of course he was able to return to the Central Continent and embark on a journey to pursue the legend of the Southern Continent—or a means to control the inner darkness.

As a result, Damian became one of the few people who could speak casually with Maria, unlike countless people who trembled at her name.

It was because, just as Maria and Hassan gave him their full trust and support, Damian always did his best to bring significant benefits to the Terra branch.

– What’s the matter? I called because I wanted to see our own faces. The man outside doesn’t come home and keeps going out of the house, and I’m alone here at the poison workshop…

“Did you talk well with Colin?”

– Thanks to you, I saved my face. Hassan told me to say thank you. After all, he’s our rookie, no, he’s no longer a rookie, but he’s one of the hidden cards of the Terra branch. This is understandable, as the company paid an extra dividend in an unusual way from the headquarters. This time, the empire was throwing a lot of money.

“According to Mr. Ronaun, it seems that the Arno kingdom branch is having a headache.”

– He’s a very talkative man, so don’t worry about it. Looking at the results right now, it’s just a normal tax investigation and summoning the branch heads and guild leaders, right? On the other hand, the Seton family lost quite a few knights, and the eldest son was ruined by my father, and suffered a disgrace to gossip among other families. It’s by no means small. He also sent me a very interesting letter.

“An interesting… letter?”

– yes. Thanks to that, the Adventurers Guild Headquarters also expressed regret. As a result, if the branch of the Arno Kingdom withdraws, the Seyton family is likely to be cornered. Of course, even knowing that, the person who moved the government office and put pressure on the branch was a human named Garou Seyton. what can i do?

“If I don’t go crazy, it will end at this point.”

– If you go one step further, you will have to risk not only the fate of the family, but also Garou Seyton’s own life. Then I’ll taste my hands after a long time, right?

Shrug!

Maria shrugged and Damian rubbed his chin too.

Indeed, it was as she said.

I was able to grasp the rough situation through a conversation with Ronaun the other day, but after hearing Maria’s story, a detailed picture is drawn in my head.

In addition, it was not an exaggeration to say that the profits the adventurer’s guild gained from attacking the twisted dimension were more than simply material amounts.

The attack of Goseong Agilante became a bridgehead for the Southern Continent.

Of course, it caused some noise for a while, but that level of suffering was something that was tolerable compared to the position the guild had obtained.

Not to mention, the fact that Marleywood Seyton sent some kind of letter to the Terra branch was proof of the content, and in fact it was nothing more than eating away at my flesh.

No matter how much the Seyton family’s potential competes for supremacy within the kingdom, it is only within the kingdom of Arno, and it was because Mariana Hassan was not an easygoing character enough to overlook this immature declaration of war.

– Oh, I have something to tell you, would you like to hear it?

“What is it?”

– Same with the Seyton family’s recent outing. As well as sending me funny letters. Isn’t something a little strange?

“Hmm, I don’t feel a bit hasty, right? That’s why it’s said that Hollywood Seyton is stupid. Although it is difficult to understand the mental state of knowing his father’s disposition and doing so.”

– What if that’s not a judgment from Marlywood’s own thoughts?

“…It’s not your judgment, but there’s someone behind it?”

– I wouldn’t have done such a stupid thing otherwise. It’s even more so from the fact that I thought of taking over as I please while the family head was away. As a result, isn’t it too exquisite to see that much of the Seton family’s power has been cut? Actually…

If the eldest son, who could be the clue behind it, had become a crippled man at the hands of the family head, it must have been a kind of thing that people outside the family would not know easily.

It was easy to think that it had happened because of Garou Seyton’s knife-like temper.

– Even an irrational beast is aware of the crisis that comes to it like a ghost. And that’s what Marlywood Seton would know best. What a terrible man his father was, and what punishment even his children would receive if they acted against him.

– Nevertheless, the reason why Marlywood spearheaded the restoration of the Forgotten Tower was because only that position was allowed to him. Garou, called the ghost’s sword, had to take care of other places according to the king’s order.

– So, what’s strange about this? Obviously, from the time we joined as the second reinforcements with Colin’s guarantee, the actions of Marlywood were a bit strange.

– Even taking into account his reckless nature, he urged the knights to sacrifice, which was strange, while actually burning a lot of troops in the 8th monster wave at once. Afterwards, he led the remaining defeated soldiers and withdrew and sent a proof of contents, and Garou Seyton moved the government office knowing that it was a loss for the family, while turning his son into a devastated person.

– Why? Just because Garou is a depraved character? Or is it because Bollywood is so stupid and stupid that everyone in the world thinks so?

– No. It would be correct to say that the fact that you don’t want to know outside your family is related to Hollywood.

– That’s why Garou Seyton tried to keep his mouth shut, while turning the attention of the public by putting Kang-soo, who moved the government office.

– This is something we only found out quite a bit later.

“Hmm…”

Maria’s words continued, and Damian raised his eyebrows. Come to think of it, it wasn’t very unreasonable.

A situation where he, the Terra branch, the Arno Kingdom branch, and even the Empire and the Arno Kingdom benefited from the stabilization of the twisted portal.

But why is the Seyton family, the only one who has suffered a loss, still continuing to lose weight and not expressing their position accordingly?

It must have been a situation that could not be known simply from what was going around in the world, and it must have been a very abnormal move, as Maria said.

– A letter has arrived from Ironguard. It’s a request to request high-quality manpower at least at the platinum level.

“Ironguard…”

– The lord of that bloodline refers to us as his nephew. Is that right?

“…you’re right.”

Before long, a familiar name began to flow from Maria’s lips.
