"Mm."
Kieran nodded when he saw the expression on Bosco's face.
He knew the benefits of doing so.
At the very least, he could obtain more information from this imperial envoy's mouth.
As for lying?
It wasn't exactly lying.
Bosco had Mystical Knowledge, Potionology, Alchemy, Astrology, Research of Mystical Beings, and the Magic Skill, Burning Hand, Charles' Burning Spell.
With all those skills as the foundation, no one could deny his identity as a sorcerer.
Even though some of the skills were only at the basic level.
"That's great!"
If you are a sorcerer, the situation will change to your advantage!
The battle between His Majesty and that person will be won by us! "
Bosco was excited as he spoke.
He then looked at Kieran and Mary, who were looking at him with doubts, and quickly explained, "That person is His Majesty's sister, the court protocol officer, and also the one who banished Ellen! She used to be one of the hot candidates to inherit the throne, but the late king chose His Majesty, who was a man, and that person was dissatisfied and resentful! That's why she never gave up on the idea of becoming the king. She has been accumulating her power in the dark and attacking His Majesty from time to time. "
"During the winter hunt last year, His Majesty was suddenly attacked by a monster. I think it must be that person's doing, but no one has any proof! Besides that, that person's influence is too strong. Even during His Majesty's prime, he was only on par with her. Now that His Majesty is bedridden due to his injuries, that person's influence in the imperial city is expanding rapidly, almost reaching the point where she can cover the sky with her hand! "
As the imperial envoy spoke, he showed a perfect expression of sorrow and helplessness.
Kieran was not moved at all as he watched Bosco's performance.
He was confident that what Bosco said was the truth, but he had not reached the point where he could empathize with Kieran.
The reason why Bosco did all that was to gain Mary's favor.
Kieran turned around and saw that Mary was also suspicious of Bosco. Kieran pointed at the body of the insectoid master.
"Is this also a part of her influence?"
Kieran asked.
"Yes, a very important part!"
"There are three or four wizards like this around that person. They have been around that person since a long time ago and formed the earliest foundation of that person's power. They are also one of the reasons why that person is feared by people. The mystery is the unknown, and the unknown brings fear. Death and fear go hand in hand. Oh man, man, stay away, stay away!"
Bosco began to chant softly as he spoke.
His tone was like a nursery rhyme casually sung by children, but also like the recitation of a bard.
"The mystical realm has been so deeply rooted in people's hearts?"
Kieran raised his eyebrows.
The imperial envoy's tone was enough for Kieran to understand the attitude the natives of the current dungeon world had towards the mystical realm.
Reverence and fear.
It was a pretty good result.
At least, he didn't have to worry about being hunted down.
Even Irene, who was crowned as a witch, could live a stable life in her tower without having to worry about the so-called witch trials.
Kieran who was slightly exposed to the current dungeon world didn't forget about the matters that concerned him.
"What's his rank among the three or four wizards?"
Kieran asked.
"I don't know.
"They're very mysterious, and they're not people that a private consultant like me can come into contact with. Even if the person I serve is the ruler of a country, it's still the same. This is because they only interact with other Magi on equal terms. Even though I'm a noble, in their eyes, I'm still a nobleman!"
"Of course, His Majesty and the royal family that isn't among them also have the bloodline of sorcerers. That's why the sorcerers are willing to gather around them and serve them. It's just that the royal family's growth is much faster than His Majesty's. His Majesty tried his best and only managed to recruit two of them. Compared to the royal family, there's an obvious gap. "
"But after you killed the insect tamer, everything will be different. Of course, if you are willing to join His Majesty's side. "
Bosco looked at Kieran with anticipation as he spoke.
"We need to pack up and get going!"
Kieran said.
He didn't answer directly.
First of all, he wasn't sure whether Bosco was telling the truth or not.
You can't expect a person who mingled in the palace to be honest with you.
Secondly, there was no sub-mission notification.
Based on Kieran's past experience, Bosco should have told him that there would be a Sub Mission notification, but his blank vision wouldn't lie to him.
Therefore, Kieran started to doubt the veracity of Bosco's words.
"Of course, of course!
"Everything is up to you!"
Bosco nodded repeatedly with a smile. He didn't seem to be dissatisfied with Kieran's words at all. He even blended into the task of tidying up the horses and luggage as if he was a worker in the convoy.
"Which part is true? Which part is false?
Or … "
"What did he hide?"
Kieran squinted his eyes when he saw how busy Bosco was.
He wasn't in a hurry to ask.
On the way to Riverdale, he had plenty of time to find out more about it.
Then, Kieran looked at Mary.
The little girl kept her calm face.
She didn't change her mind about heading to Riverdale because of what Bosco said.
Given the girl's precocious nature, she knew what kind of danger she would face.
However, the little girl didn't back down.
"You want to see your father?"
Kieran sighed in his heart when he thought about how Mary compared her father's looks.
Kieran didn't know what to say to comfort the little girl, so he turned around and looked down at the Magic item that he had gotten earlier.
It was a palm-sized piccolo that looked like a flute.

"Musical instrument? Literacy? "
Kieran frowned when he saw the two unfamiliar skill prefixes.
He had never come across any similar skills before.
Neither had he heard it from Lawless.
"Special skills?
Or an extra basic skill like Greatsword Block? "
Kieran wondered.
However, he didn't get an accurate answer until he was on his way.
It didn't discourage Kieran though.
Quite the contrary, there were more and more new information that he didn't know before. It intrigued Kieran even more.
It meant that the underground game was much more complicated than he thought.
It was good news for Kieran who wanted to rely on the underground game to get more rewards.
But soon, the bad news came one after another.
The first one was even worse!
It was the end of the month!
If you have a monthly ticket, don't hide it!
