“With this, the alliance between Preston and Linden is formed.”

Sein smiled as she put the seal of Seongju on two documents.

“Are you okay like this? We have a lot of advantage... .”

Daffle tilted her head as she looked at the documents. No matter how you look at it, this contract was too advantageous for them.

"Yes. it's okay. On paper, we look at a disadvantage, but in reality we are not.”

Sein put the seal and glanced at Baek Woojin, who was standing next to the dapple.

‘Because there is that person.’

Baek Woojin is an uninhabited man who can be counted among five fingers even if he searches the entire continent. This contract is absolutely not detrimental just because he is Dapple's teacher.

Besides, Baek Woojin didn't help me with one or two things, so it was something I could do with any reasonable concessions.

"thank you."

Daffle hugged the alliance documents tightly and bowed his head to Sein.

“Honestly, I didn’t have high expectations for the alliance, but I think everyone will be delighted. It’s all thanks to Master.”

He turned to his side and lowered his head 90 degrees to Baek Woojin as well.

“It is a reward for keeping a promise.”

Baek Woojin smiled and raised the dapple.

"Yes? Promise?”

“I promise that I will practice diligently until I return. You kept it.”

“Only with that… .”

Daffle clenched his fists and trembled.

‘Master… .'

heart beats violently

I don't know what to say because I'm so grateful that you gave me such a big gift for keeping that promise, which wasn't too difficult.

"thank you."

All I could do was say thank you.

“Stop it because it’s embarrassing.”

Baek Woojin waved his hand and walked towards Sein.

“Sir. Thank you for your attention.”

“The nerve was written by Woojin. uh? Will you come back right away?”

“This guy is also the lord of the castle, but we can’t leave the house empty for too long.”

“But if you have a little more… .”

“There are places to stop in the middle.”

“Ugh… .”

Sein bit his lower lip.

'I'm already leaving... .'

Hearing that he was going back, his left chest hurt a little.

It is not simply because of affection or gratitude. He seemed to be imprinted on him with something more than that.

"Do not worry. We will see you again soon.”

"Ah… .”

Baek Woojin smiled as Sein made eye contact with her, and she swung her head down with her blushing face.

- Another one is missing. uh... .

He murmured that darkness was over and clicked her tongue.

“Then where are you going?”

“The trading city of Ramelun.”

“Ah, too… .”

Sein nodded her head as if she knew.

“I think it’s because of rumors that Ramelun has teamed up with the Empire.”

"uh? Did you know?”

Daffle opened his eyes and took a step closer.

“The rumors are probably half true. We did some research, and more than half of the parliament said they supported the Empire.”

Sein sighed and conveyed Ramelun's situation.

"Yes. I know that too. However, the current mayor is from Shukan Castle, so he is still neutral.”

“Oh, I remember that. You're going to check it out."

"Yes. I have a little relationship with the mayor. I'll get some information and maybe even get some help if I get the chance, so I'm going to try it.”

Daffle nodded her head with hopeful eyes.

‘Darkness. Where's Rameloon?'

-It is a city built in a place slightly south of the center of the continent.

Darkness pierced one of the great cities of the south in a wall-mounted continental overturn.

- In Ramelun, the cultures of all countries on the continent are gathered. It is a city created by a group of people of various races and backgrounds, so it is a place that has maintained its neutrality in any situation.

‘That’s why they call it a trading city.’

-okay. There are no lords or kings there, and decisions are made by parliaments and mayors elected by parliaments from each province and country. But now that neutrality seems to have been broken.

Darkness pressed his tongue. It was bittersweet because it seemed that the characteristics of a city that had been in existence for hundreds of years had collapsed.

‘The trading city of Ramelun… .'

Baek Woojin saw the continent's evangelism again. Rameloon was built in a place that could reach all the countries of the continent as a trading area.

If that place helped them, it seemed that they could take the war with the Empire to their advantage.

“Huh, then I won’t be able to catch you.”

Sein shook his head, forcing himself to hide his regret.“We will send it to the central region as quickly as possible with the white roar, which is the pride of Preston Castle.”

She stood up with her proud young face.

**

woo woo woo.

The door to the north wall, which rose more firmly than before, opened.

Baek Woojin, Dapple, Muyounggaek, and Moon Juyoung, riding a white wolf white wolf the size of a mid-size car, headed towards the open door.

‘It feels good to ride.’

Baek Woojin smiled as he stroked the fur of the white tiger he was riding on. It was full of soft fur, so there was no discomfort even after sitting for a long time on Baekrang's back.

Not only himself, but other people were also riding the White Rang.

“Let’s go when everything is ready.”

"Yep!"

"all right!"

Baek Woojin walked out the door first, followed by Moon Ju-young, Dapple, and Moo-young.

“Then to rameloon… .”

“Baek Woojin!”

As I was about to run to the pure white snow, I heard Sein's voice from above the north wall.

“Thank you so much! Best of luck in the future!”

As she bowed her head, the soldiers of Preston Castle appeared from behind.

“Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing!”

"thanked!"

“If there is a battle with the Empire, I will fight with all my life!”

“I’m going to train the Northern Heavenly Sword, so please look forward to it!”

“Let’s meet again!”

The soldiers waved their hands and cheered.

“Those guys… .”

Baek Woojin smiled softly. Because they were familiar faces while passing on the Northern Heavenly Sword, something warmed my heart.

“See you again soon.”

She left those words and turned around her.

“ Baek Woojin! Baek Woojin!”

“Goodbye!”

“Moon luck be with you!”

Baek Woojin stroked his white forehead as he heard his name ringing in the north.

"let's go!"

**

Because Baek Rang's stamina and speed were far superior to horses, Baek Woojin was able to arrive at the trading city of Ramelun much earlier than expected.

“Is that a rameloon?”

Baek Woojin stretched out looking up at the trading city of Ramelun in the distance.

“Big.”

Buildings of different shapes were lined up on top of the huge circular wall. Seeing the different colors and styles, they all looked like buildings of different cultures.

‘It’s like a dome.’

To put it simply, it looked like a huge domed stadium filled with several buildings.

- It's taller and bigger than before.

Darkness shed a voice that seemed to be missing something, as if it had a connection with that city.

“Are you sure it’s big? With a large population and diverse backgrounds, I did not rush to touch the Empire. not now but."

Dapple licked his lips with a bitter expression.

“Let’s go in. If it's too late, you'll miss the meat stew of Ramelun's proud elf's shelter."

“If you come to Rameloon, you must try it! Absolutely not!”

The young man shook his head and clinged to Daffle's side.

"right. You can't give the owner a room and food like garbage.”

Moon Ju-young lowered her posture as if she was about to run right away.

'Now it's a good fit.'

Baek Woojin looked at the three people's backs and smiled.

After spending close to two months together, the three of them became close friends.

-It's encouraging that the relationship has improved, but the most surprising thing is the growth of Dapple.

'right.'

Baek Woojin nodded.

While he was here, he trained three people in his spare time, and the one who made the most progress was Dapple.

The guy who used to be in the middle of the 6th grade soon moved up to the end of the 6th grade. He seemed to him that he had a growing talent.

-The seeds you have been training for have met you again and sprouted.

He smiled as he watched the dapple running towards the darkness. The reason Dapple grew so quickly was because of his admiration for Baek Woojin and the honest and consistent training he had been doing.

‘Maybe.’

“Master! Hurry!"

When Baek Woojin nodded, Dapple turned around and waved his hand as if to come quickly.

“If you’re late, you can’t even get a room!”

"I get it."

She followed the three to the gates of La Melun. The gates were as big as the size of the city, and there were long lines of people trying to get in.

After waiting for almost an hour, it was my turn to enter.

At the checkpoint, Baek Woojin passed the checkpoint by not showing the hand of Linden Castle or Preston Castle, but of the Runan Village that he had saved while coming here.

It was a choice not to attract attention, but seeing that it passed right away, it seems like a good choice.

'It's almost 10 lanes in length.'

With Baek Woojin's hand in his arms, he looked at the central road right in front of the castle gate.

The road was so wide that six or more wagons could pass at the same time.

- If you go up this road, you will find Ramelun City Hall and Parliament. In a nutshell, it's hypocrisy.

‘Hush. It’s the same everywhere.’

Baek Woojin laughed as he looked at the cool buildings on the road.

“Inspector! Watch later and go soon! You miss the stew!”

“His stew… .”

When I came here, Dapple said that the stew of the elf shelter was the best on the continent, so I kept arguing that the fighters had to eat it.

“No Younger! Don't be rude to the lord! Do not worry. I'll go ahead and make a reservation!”

The three of them ran towards the elf's shelter, moving forward and backward.

“Not even kids.”

**

After booking a room and dinner at the elf's shelter, Baek Woojin went up the boulevard with Daffle.

“I’m a little nervous.”

"I'll be behind you, don't worry."

“Wow, great! I have to write this down!”

Daffle pulled out his little notebook and mumbled his own words.

-Uh-huh, there's one more crazy guy.

Darkness sharpened the blade. Following the robber mad at the robber, Baek Woojin's mad dapple appeared. His head was already starting to hurt.

“It’s embarrassing, so let’s stop and go up. But do you know the mayor?”

"Yes. Mayor Hyun has seen him before when his father was still alive. At that time he was a senator.”

“Then maybe we can talk a little bit.”

“If that’s the case, then there’s nothing I want, but it’s because you’re stubborn. It may be difficult.”

Dapple gave a few comments about the current market, Kaylac. From what I heard, she was on the same level as Moon Ju-young in terms of inflexibility.

Daffle, too, was moving to obtain information rather than to expect an alliance.

“What are you here for?”

When Baek Woojin arrived in front of City Hall, the captain of the guard standing in front of the iron gate blocked the way.

“I came to see the mayor.”

“Did you make an appointment?”

"Yes. If you tell me it’s lacto, you’ll know.”

Daffle nodded his head proudly, even though he had never promised.

"Well… .”

The guard went into the city hall muttering the word lacto, then came out about five minutes later and opened the iron door.

“Go in. The mayor's office is in the middle of the third floor.”

"thank you."

Daffle bowed his head and crossed the iron gate and entered the parliament building.

“What is lacto?”

Baek Woojin turned his head to Dapple as he climbed the stairs.

“My father is a nickname that the mayor makes fun of each other. It’s like a piece of slang that only two people can understand.”

“Then you will know you are here.”

“I will.”

Daffle stood at the entrance of the mayor's room on the third floor with a slightly nervous expression.

he's smart

“Come in.”

As I knocked on the door, I heard a hoarse voice from the room.

When I opened the door, a middle-aged man with sparse gray hair was sitting in front of the desk.

His face was plain, but he had a taut force as if he had pulled his rubber band. As Daffle said, it was a stubborn impression.

“It was you too. Dapple.”

“Mr Kylac. long time no see."

“Whew… .”

Kaylak Start sighed and closed his eyes.

“I’m sorry for you, I don’t know what to say… .”

"no. You’ve helped enough.”

Daffle shook his head. Caylac did not take advantage of La Melun's power, but she helped Linden Castle with her personal wealth and connections.

She wasn't a huge help, but she was very grateful.

“Your face is bright. I'm glad you seem to be doing well. But this one... .”

“It’s an escort.”

Baek Woojin did not reveal himself, only said that he was an escort, just like in Preston Castle.

“Don’t worry, I’m someone you can trust.”

“If you are… Well!"

Kaylac stopped her and looked at her door. After a while, the door opened and a man dressed as a butler entered.

“I brought a car.”

He put three cups of tea on the table and walked out the door with a smile.

“So what did you come here for?”

“I will tell you straight up. I would like to form an alliance with Ramelun.”

“I thought you would say that.”"Mister. The movement of the Empire is not unusual. Not only will they eat us, they will also eat rameloon.”

“I’m sorry, but no.”

Kaylac shook her head resolutely.

"Mister!"

“No, don’t say it again. It’s not that I can’t, I can’t.”

"Yes?"

“I mean. I have no power.”

Kaylac looked at the car, which gently swayed.

“As you know, in Rameloon, decisions are made by the mayor and the council. Even if I'm the mayor, if two-thirds of the legislators say no, there's no answer."

“Then please!”

"okay. Contrary to external rumors of half, most of the members of the House of Representatives passed over to the Empire. Whatever it is, it’s too late.”

"Ah… .”

“The reason they put me on the market is simple. They left me where I could see them best so they couldn't interfere with their work. The secretary who just brought me the car is here to watch over me and find out who you are.”

“That, that… .”

Daffle's eyes fluttered in disbelief.

'You did a good job of unfolding the show.'

Baek Woojin looked at the door and lit up his cool eyes. There were a lot of people around this room, so I opened the curtain to prevent the sound from escaping, but it was a good choice.

- That market called Kaylac seems to be nothing more than a puppet.

'I think so.'

Caylac's tight atmosphere changed as if untied like a broken rubber band.

“I want to help, but there is nothing I can do. I think I’ve been living the wrong life lately.”

"Mister… .”

Daffle bit her lip. Come to think of it, it seemed that his forehead was full of wrinkles in the blink of an eye.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t grant you your request. Your identity may have been discovered, so get out as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”

“After that, I see.”

Daffle stood up helplessly and walked out the door. Baek Woojin followed him and stood up and looked at Kaylock.

His eyes were stained with regret, lamentation and pain.

- I'm sorry. It would have been convenient in many ways to receive support from here.

‘No need to be sorry.’

Baek Woojin left the room with confident eyes.

‘Because it’s not over yet.’

**

That night.

The door opened without knocking while Kaylock was working in the mayor's office.

“Cailac Market.”

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man with a kind smile on his face.

“Chairman Rodon.”

Kaylac narrowed her eyes and stood up.

“I heard someone came during the day.”

mayor and chairman. Even though they had to respect each other, Rhodon stayed silent with Kaylac.

“An acquaintance came.”

"friend? Did you have such a young acquaintance? Seeing that there is an escort, it seems that there is also an identity. What else does lacto mean?”

"Well… .”

Kylok bit his lip at Lodon's smirk.

'I knew it all, too.'

From the city hall escort to the secretary to the janitor, everything here becomes Lodon's eye. He already knew everything.

‘But I don’t know that Dapple is the lord of Linden Castle.’

I hoped Daffle would leave as soon as possible before Lodon found out.

“He’s a kid I met while wandering around in the past. He never forgot to come.”

“Hmm, do you even have an escort?”

“It’s not an escort, it’s a mercenary.”

“What good?”

Rhodon grinned and nodded his head.

“Have you made the decision on the story we talked about earlier?”

“Chairman. Rameloon has never violated his neutrality. No matter how powerful the Charon Empire is... .”

“Hey, you still don’t know? You don't have a choice. How can you not know that more than 80% of Parliament is already in favor of the Empire?”

"that… .”

“This has already been decided. I'm too lazy to open the council, so you just have to make your own decisions."

Rhodon sneered coldly at Caylac, who frowned.

“In a few days, the day will come when you will have to make the right choice. If you make the wrong decision then, not only you and your family, but many people will die.”

Rhodon waved his hand and walked out the door.

"ha… .”

A black shadow fluttered from the window behind him as Kaylac groaned and gripped her head.

woo woo.

The shadow that fluttered in the wind changed into the form of a man in a happy outfit.

“Is this okay?”

The man in the night clothes glanced into the market room and then silently kicked the wall.

“Hey, it’s not Moon Ju-young that’s bothering me, it’s just me.”
