    Chapter 414


    Just as Kanna had said, Yuder''s destination was at the ce where a noisy sound wasing from.


    Located on a secluded hill slightly away from the other mansions, there stood a rare and antiquated mansion. There was a disturbance in front of the main gate at the junction leading to that ce.


    "What do you mean by I can’t enter!"


    "I''m sorry, but all the invitations for the guests attending the Tainu Merchant Joint Auction today have already been sent out. If you don''t have an invitation, you cannot enter."


    "But, I had it when I left home, but I lost it, don''t you understand?"


    "We can''t do anything about it. To prevent any unpleasant incidents, if you don''t have an invitation, you can''t enter no matter what happens..."


    "How can it be that I, who camest year, cannot enter! Can''t you see beyond just selling a few items? Do you not know how well-acquainted I am with Baron Willhem? Bring the person in charge at once!"


    A nobleman, who had been denied entry to the auction, was quarreling with the guards at the door. He was furious that he couldn''t enter because he had lost his invitation, but the guards firmly stopped him.


    ''Baron Willhem holds an auction here, and it seems he is making a great fuss all over the Empire.''


    Everyone must have known who was holding the auction, but officially, not only Duke Tain but also Baron Willhem himself had nothing to do with the auction.


    "I''m sorry, but please leave. If you continue to cause a scene..."


    "Is the Baron not here? If I see him, the problem will be solved! Then I will not leave you guys alone."


    "..."


    A troubled and fearful expression spread across the soldiers'' faces. They were just doing their job, and they didn''t want to get into trouble with the nobleman, so there was nothing they could do.


    Finally, the quarreling nobleman forcefully moved his carriage up, and the soldiers ran after him. Thanks to this, the main gate was leftpletely empty.


    "Yuder. Should we not go over there?"


    "I''ve heard that protection magic has been cast all around, except for the paths essible by carriage. We have to go to another door to join up with the other members."


    In the mansion where the auction was being held, there was one secret entrance that neither guests nor workers knew about. Finding that was the biggest gain Pruelle got while digging for information.


    "A little reading of the information and then leaving?"


    That seemed fine. Yuder silentlynded in front of the empty main gate. Kanna, who had alighted from his back, quickly touched the gate''s carvings and walls without wasting time.


    "Hmm. I read a lot of thoughts and information from the people who passed through this door. There must have been many intense things happening."


    While Kanna was closing her eyes and focusing on reading the information, Yuder kept watch around. Seeing the row of carriages parked near the distant buildings, it seemed that many guests had already arrived.


    ''I''m not sure if it will start as scheduled without Baron Willheming.''


    Neither the southern merchant who hade before them nor Nahan were to be seen. The southern merchant who was supposed to move the goods clearly had an obvious task. Since things had gone awry, he must have been thinking of taking the goods out right away.


    ''Since we already know who is involved, it''s not urgent even if we miss them.''


    Yuder recalled the information found in a note from Finn Eldore, which he had inspected and incinerated after his visit to the security management team. Finn had dismissed the information as trivial, but Yuder realized that it might be usefulter on, not just right now.


    "While they were outside the inn, I took a quick look around their room using my abilities. Most of their belongings were ordinary, but there was one item with this symbol drawn on it. It''s hard to describe, so I''ll draw it."


    Aet, the horizon, and a sword that cut above it – all formed by a few simple lines.


    It was the symbol of thergest tribe in the south, a tribe that had extensive interactions with the countries north of the desert, including the Orr Empire, in his previous life.


    "I''ll have to find out more about this as soon as this matter is settled."


    Unlike the move of the southern merchant, where they were clear about what was behind him, it was difficult to guess in detail how the Nahan would move in the current situation.


    ‘But it probably won''t be much different from what I originally expected. Even without Ershi, the standpoint of avenging on behalf of her will not have changed.’


    "Nahan, that person. Today was the first time I saw him properly, and I didn''t think he would abandon hisrades again like that," Kanna murmured quietly, exuding a mirage-like energy from her hand as she read the information.


    "He abandoned therades who came to help him like Gayle and Doyle, and now he''s left behind therade who said he would help with the revenge. Could he really just abandon this task and run away again with the remainingrades?"


    "No."


    Yuder answered with conviction.


    "He will continue Ershi''s revenge even without Ershi."


    "I can''t understand. What is the meaning of someone else continuing a revenge when the person needing revenge is gone?"


    "Just think of him as someone who sees that as the purpose itself."


    It was not surprising that Ershi, who had insisted on killing Baron Willhem despite the resistance from the Cavalry, was left behind.


    Hadn''t he seen several times that Nahan was someone who could easily abandonrades and minor objectives, prioritizing his own standards and safety? Gayle and Doyle had been discarded like that, and now it was Ershi''s turn.


    This incident, announced as helping Ershi''s revenge, would not be very different for him.


    In the end, what mattered to Nahan was not ''Ershi''s'' revenge, but the ''revenge'' of Ershi.


    He would gatherrades by mobilizing them for the cause of doing what he wanted to do as someone else''s request, and inme their hatred. Even if Ershi died here, it would not be Nahan''s responsibility but the responsibility of the Cavalry, and the remainingrades would be even more loyal to Nahan. Truly a wicked man.


    And yet he believed what he was doing was right. He was truly an unpleasant madman.


    "They were notrades, they were just means to an end."


    Kanna also seemed to have the same thought.


    "Why does the ''sage'' that Gayle and Doyle believed in keep condoning Nahan? Does he know that Nahanpletely ruined the vige of the Awakener in Great Sarain Forest?"


    "The possibility that what we thought was moderation was just a mask. It''smon for a leader who ys a good role externally to secretly assign subordinates to do things contrary to his position to keep opposing opinions under control."


    Yuder spoke, recalling Emperor Katchian.


    At that moment, Kanna, who had been continually using her abilities around them, suddenly looked at Yuder with a strange expression.


    "Wow, Yuder. You just sounded a little like Commander."


    "....I was?"


    At that unexpected remark, all focus was shattered.


    "I mean…… No, anyway, it seems I''ve read everything we need to, so let''s go."


    Carrying Kanna again and heading towards the secret entrance, Yuder reflected anew on how incredibly powerful Hosanna''s teleportation ability was, especially whenbined with Nahan.


    Even without specializing in teleportation ability, just using Finn Eldore''s ability made escaping unnoticed from a mansion as easy as pie. Especially when it came to Hosanna, who could transport multiple people, including himself, over long distances at the same time. The fact that they hadn''t yet captured Nahan was half due to his presence.


    "The soldiers we saw just now were anxious because Baron Willhem hadn''t arrived yet. And… I think I also read a little information rted to those associated with Nahan."


    Kanna, riding on Yuder''s back, briefly mentioned the information she had gathered.


    "People rted to Nahan?"


    "There were changes among the workers who entered here this morning. Some new people joined in ce of the ones who were originally supposed toe. A soldier was angry about it, but… heter thought he had seen wrong and let them pass. Isn''t that strange?"


    "It must be an illusion ability."


    "If not that, it would be inexplicable. The perception was unnatural."


    "You''re amazing, Kanna."


    As Yuder sincerely praised her, Kanna smiled in pleasure.


    "I wasn''t just ying around in the Great Sarain Forest!"


    At that moment, the entrance to the secret passage revealed itself. The two approached quietly, opened the door, and entered. It wasn''t long before they saw the familiar faces of the Cavalry members who had gathered.


    "Yuder, we were worried you werete. And Kanna''s with you."


    "Was there anything else on your way here?"


    "No. We came right here as soon as you signaled."


    Among the members were other colleagues who had been there since morning. Specifically, Robel, the Awakener from the Star of Nagran.
