Chapter 546
“…”
Alkan was momentarily speechless at Rotten’s words.
-He asked about the war.
And Rotten continued speaking.
‘Count Myeonghu?’
But Alkan couldn’t focus on Rotten’s words. Only the fact that Myeonghu had come visited his mind.
-Are you listening to me?
Rotten asked at that very moment.
“…Ah, sorry.”
Snapping back to reality at Rotten’s question, Alkan apologized and asked in turn.
“What did you talk about?”
-War. We talked about war.
“War?”
-Yeah, somehow he knew and asked about war. Who the target was, what the reason was for wanting to start it.
“So?”
-Anyway, the target of this war is the monster kingdom located in the uncharted territory.
Helioqua prepared for war precisely because of the monster kingdom situated in the uncharted territory. In other words, the target of the war was the monster kingdom, and the reason for the war was to develop the uncharted territory.
-It’s not a war between humans, and even if Count Myeonghu offered help, he wouldn’t interfere. I told him everything I knew that I could share.
It was a war between nations, but not a war between humans. And since Minghuu didn’t seem likely to interfere, Rotten told him the truth.
-And…
The conversation didn’t end there. Alkan focused on what Rotten said.
-When he asked if I knew anything else, I made a request.
“A request?”
-I asked him to take care of the monsters. I said I’d try to gather more information in the meantime. Count Myeonghu readily agreed.
