The Saint Class Reincarnator
CHAPTER 78: THE LAND OF THE DWARF RACE (2)

By the time the sun finally rose all the preparations were finished and the horse-drawn carriage that would take us was already parked in front of the Church gates.

Before we left I walked closer to Veronica who was in an open meeting with her loyal subordinates. Edgar realized I was approaching waving with a smile and greeting.

"...Saints."

That was his trademark and I passed by ignoring him.

"Veronica, we're just going to go instead of fighting, don't take a lot of people."

Whether intentionally or not, Veronica who was usually not too strict this time she was really a little disciplined. He brought almost all of his more than half of his subordinates along to go along, including Edgar.

Yesterday's talk I thought he'd bring in some of his members only, but...

Of course as a missionary this time I do not mind. The real problem is not coming from me but when we are at the destination, chances are we as guests will not be welcomed if we bring a lot of people. That is the reason I minimize the members who have to come.

While I can count there are 15 more Shadows here.

Paladin Theo and Paladin Roy of course they went along. Then my colleagues the Prophets. Then Veronica and the Shadow. At least like that.

"No. I know that and don't bring them into where we're headed. However, I asked some of them to stand guard at the border just in case."

Calculated answer from Veronica. Now I know why all the Shadow members are following him. He thought more ahead and always put up anticipation wherever he was. I nodded at his decision.

"All right, I leave it to you. Now we're leaving."

"The others will follow from behind and disguise their existence so don't worry."

Claude said the same thing.

don't you need a spy. At the very least, if the Queen's subordinates begin to move following you.

I rejected his contribution this time. Because the reason is we already have Veronica. Also, if Claude is involved in this then the Queen's and nobles' guard against my activities today will be even more strict.

Therefore, Veronica and the Shadows would guard the rear and become the eyes of the watchdog.

At that moment, someone approached us.

"Al, everything's ready, we're leaving."

It seemed like the fellow and the rest of the members were also already willing to depart. I nodded at Yohan and the others behind her. Then we walked and got into the horse carriage. Before it was my turn to go up, the father with Director Sarion next to him spoke.

"Al, be careful and come back."

"Hopefully your journey is smooth."

I believed that the day I would go far from where I came from would come shortly thereafter.

And what I was most afraid of was that the day it happened, I couldn't promise that I would be able to come back.

But not this time. I walked and hugged my father.

"I'll try."

"Yes, good luck and take care of your health."

I took off my father's embrace and walked towards the carriage. Yohan called and stretched out her hand helping me up, I turned around and said.

"We're leaving."

The horse carriage is moving. Our goal is where July is waiting in a place that we have well scheduled. Before the day of July's departure he said that only he was able to deport us to the place where the Dwarves lived.

"We're going to the Cravet Forest right near the river area around the Kingdom's border so it won't take long. Where's Veronica?"

Heros opened up a small map that he used as a paper device to indicate the direction we were heading according to the nearest route. Here the youngest one who knows the areas near this Kingdom and explained to me and Yohan who did not really understand the structure of the region and the area around this Harvellion Kingdom.

Meanwhile Veronica and her subordinates followed us from behind. Veronica's potential is really not playing, whether since when she trained the ability of her skill. his [Phantom Fantasy] was now not individual-based, he could also use it with group dominance.

Cheating said it but it was a profitable skill.

I only hope for one thing, don't run out of that magic power.

"He's in the back."

Heros nodded lightly and continued his delivery. "Also it's about the route we're going to take, from the river we're going to stop, right?"

"True, July's waiting there."

Yohan who listened then spoke up hesitantly.

"Al, can we trust him?"

"Of course, if not then July himself knows there will be consequences. Don't worry Hyung, it's not like we're going to be cheated. On the contrary if he deceives us he also does not benefit anything, nor do we lose anything."

"What if he uses you only for his satisfaction?"

I thought for a moment to close my eyes and then open again. There was a little grin on my lips.

"No, I'm sure it won't happen."

Not like the other Prophets. It seems like July understands the word to be the real 'Prophet' than they think. And again Samael came to talk to me without warning about July so there was no problem to make him as a new partner.

Danger or not make the ancient inhabitants of this world work together that we will see in the future. Even though it was a danger though I would still take a little shortcut. They use their power as best they can.

"Nothing is free in this world." murmured I stared out the window.

"Alvius is the question. Did the prince say anything to you?"

"No letter came from him. Well, I'm sure now he's watching us set off with a weird grin on his horrible face."

Because we all know, if not one of us really likes Claude, even me.

There was a small laugh coming between the three of us inside the carriage. By agreement, Claude and I have been confirmed. So what is to be waited for from him again?

In short, the one who laughs first is the one who is able to see the end itself.

***

While Claude was working on his documents, someone knocked on his door and walked in.

The man who entered and was facing in front of Claude without even hearing an answer from him when he had to enter had a smile on his slightly reluctant lips and wore a robe.

Claude who stopped his finger movements his pupils shot upwards.

“You've arrived? Report?”

A wry laugh came from the cloaked man.

“Your majesty, I haven't even had a chance to sit down and you've told me to give a report, nasty.”

“I don't want to linger seeing you here and quickly get out of my sight.”

“Events... Well, that's the prince I know.”

Then he handed over a piece of paper containing reports and data that he had been collecting. Don't know when he summarized all of that on one sheet. But it is certain that it took a long time to summarize all the reports just to give to Claude.

He has no regrets about working too hard. It's just, Claude barely gave this man any rest and attention.

Even when he was inside an A-level Dungeon.

“Good work Cedric.”

Cedric Alphine, Wizard Rank - A. As a direct subordinate of Claude he was known as someone who almost had the potential to rise in rank. Of course Claude knows Cedric is a talented man but his potential is still underdeveloped.

It's not just Cedric. Claude is secretly deliberately amassing an army with the affiliate faction of a pure Wizard.

Cedric was actually afraid of Claude but because he had known Claude for a long time, he was the one who taught Claude magic since he was a child.

Unfortunately Claude never called him a teacher or thought of him as such.

‘Since childhood, I don't even know if this kid who is going to enter puberty is becoming a good guy.’

Claude's treatment of her was like subordinates and superiors. There were no ranks between them even though Cedric was a teacher to him.

No wonder Cedric was so used to going in and not afraid of Claude getting angry or anything like that.

“According to what is written here is not one but many. The borders of Odore almost completely overlap with neighboring countries, how much loss will we experience?”

“As we investigate. His mastermind was Marquess Zarpelinus and his subordinates. In addition, it is not only him who falls into the category of Blacklist.”

In a neatly written note and a line of reports about the contents and cases studied. Cedric tried to uncover the investigation and ended up getting all the evidence from one place.

“Yes. Looks like this country really has to be rearranged.”

Claude's immediate answer left Cedric clueless as to what he should say. That sentence alone was enough to urge him into a dark corner of mind.

The purpose of conducting an investigation must not only report the specific situation.

But, he also reported to Claude about another Wizard who almost lost his life due to this plan. Stupidly he thought he would get a good response from Claude for extra time to save his partner.

Which meant Claude did not hesitate to throw away useless pieces. If the other Wizards died it wasn't Claude's fault, it was their own fault for being too weak.

And Cedric could only accept what Claude wanted.

Wh why?

No one knows, maybe only he knows, because he's seen it.

In Claude's body was something no one else should have known.

Cedric was scared, very scared. What would happen if he touched that side and made Claude lose his mind?

He did not dare to think about it anymore.

“Tomorrow nights there will be banquet parties for the nobles. Make sure all the nobles on the list are also present. We will warmly welcome them.”

Just dealing with him alone, it was hard to breathe.

He did not know what the reason Claude had this type of position.

And then it was revealed as soon as Claude spoke again with a thin grin on his lips and glowing red eyes that seemed satisfied.

“As long as Saint Alvius is happy then I am happy too.”

At that second Cedric could only be left empty. He did not know the meaning, but he understood the meaning even though it was short. Wh why? Why of so many expressions should he say that this situation is only for the sake of others.

‘Actually, what did Saint do to this guy?!’

In a very long time, Cedric would never know the reason. No, Saint Alvius who was called Claude also did not necessarily know what reason Claude did it for his sake to that extent.

Cedric creeps erratically.
