Chapter 430: Preliminary Consultation

    Chapter 430: Preliminary Consultation


    Basement of the Guild Headquarters.


    I followed Clyde to the special remotemunication room.


    A round table was located in the middle of the room.


    In front of each seat around the table was a crystal.


    This same room exists in the capital of every country.


    The meeting that takes ce in this room is called the [The Summit of the Wise Kings].


    The authority to call this meeting lies with the Chief of the Adventurer Guild. It can only be held at the Chiefs discretion or at the request of 3 or more countries.


    Call the Empires Emperor first.


    There is a guild staff of each of the capital branches on standby in front of the crystal in their respective meeting room.


    They have the duty to notify the ruler of their country that the meeting will be held.


    However, this time I want the Emperor to be notified first.


    The Empire is a party involved. I think that we should exin the situation to them first. Will this be frowned upon by the other countries?


    If we dont tell them then they wont know. Besides, this problem already caused heavy damage to the Empire. I agree, we should let him know what he is walking into.


    It is what it is after all. It would be helpful if we let him know first.


    We talked for a while as we waited for the Emperor to arrive.


    The process for this is that the staff must request an audience with the Emperor at the castle and guide him to the Imperial Capital Guild Branch.


    It takes time.


    However, this is normal when you want to summon a ruler of a nation.


    After a while, smoke emerged from one of the crystals and a human face appeared in it.


    [[Seems like I made you wait.]]


    No, thank you for your prompt response, Your Imperial Majesty.


    [[Its natural to give my highest priority when ites to a summit. But.is it only me here?]]


    Father frowned at the fact that the other participants were all absent.


    Actually, you are the first one we called, Your Imperial Majesty. As for the reason, please allow Silver to exin.


    [[If there is a problem you should havee directly for me at the Imperial Capital. You have been entering and leaving my castle whenever you want after all.]]


    I thought that I should bring this to the guild first. I will apologize that I did this in a roundabout way. But this problem will be worth the time. In summary, I have destroyed every single one of Grimoires bases inside the Empire. During that time, I discovered the evidence of their involvement in various recent incidents.


    [[Hou..]]


    You dont seem surprised?


    [[With that many incidents happening in such a short period of time, it would be more natural to think that there was someone behind them. If that someone is Grimoire then I am convinced.]]


    But that is not the only reason we called for this meeting. The problem here is that there are Demons among the executives of Grimoire. Their appearance is no different than that of a human. They have blended in with mankind.


    What.!?


    Fathers expression immediately changed.


    This is not the case where a Demon was identally summoned like the case in the south.


    Thats the problem.


    Grimoire has established a technique to summon Demons into human bodies. Moreover, the summoned Demons are powerful. Without the ability equal to that of an SS-rank adventurer, it will be difficult to guarantee victory.


    [[..the Demons threat is upon us again huh.]]


    They have already made their move. The reason the Empire was targeted first probably was due to either that the Empire was the country that stubbornly resisted their invasion the most 500 years ago or the existences of the Heroes. Either way, it is clear that the Empire is their target and currently at war with the Kingdom. So far, everything must have gone ording to their n.


    [[So we were dancing in their palm from the start.? Because of them, I had to execute my daughter and my son had to kill his own brother]]


    The Imperial Family of the Empire is extraordinary. The less the number, the more the Empires national power will diminish. It appeared that they took advantage of the session war but..it is doubtful that this session war urred naturally.


    [[you are suggesting that they were involved with the death of the Crown Prince?]]


    It is only a spection but it is unlikely that the Crown Prince would just die on the battlefield. Even you thought that it was an assassination rather than an ident, no?


    [[]]


    Father stays silent.


    He looks like he is trying to hold down his anger.


    Seeing him like that, Clyde changed the topic.


    The reason we called this meeting is the Demons. Since we discovered that a criminal organization is employing Demons, we have decided that it is a problem for the entire continent.


    [[You are correctwe have to crush them no matter what.]]


    Thats why wed like to make a request, Your Majesty. Wed like the Empire and the Kingdom to make a ceasefire agreement.


    [[we are already preparing for a full-scale offensive.]]


    We are aware, Your Majesty. But please.


    [[.It was them who took advantage of the turmoil in my country andunched an invasionit is clearly possible that they are involved with Grimoire! Without a retaliation, no one in my country would approve of a ceasefire.]]


    you can be at ease about that.


    I speak to Father.


    After all, I am with him on the ceasefire.


    When Grimoire started showing up in the Empire, the Kingdom made their move against us.


    And it was the Kingdom that Grimoire escaped to.


    Thinking that they have no ties with Grimoire at all would be strange.


    I want to investigate those ties right now but I also have a position to maintain here.


    Thats why.


    If it is proven that the Kingdom does have a connection with Grimoirethey will be treated as the enemy of the continent due to their association with the Demons. This means that they will be a subjugation target of the Adventurer Guild. If ites to that, I promise to fight with you. I will never let them escape my hands.


    [[Silver]]


    However, that is a story for another time. Your Majesty, if you take a step back here, it will be easier to proceed with the meeting. Please cooperate with us. For the sake of the continent.


    [[.if you put it like that then I cant refuse. We already nned a ceasefire after we dealt a blow to them anyway. I would not be convinced if we can not retaliate at all butif that is the case then I ept.]]


    I am grateful.


    That concluded the preliminary negotiation.


    Now we call the other rulers.


    That being said, depending on the Kingdoms reaction, our course of action might have to change


    [[By the way, Guild Chief. I have to tell you something.]]


    What is it, Your Majesty?


    [[The King of the United Kingdom will not attend this meeting.]]


    What do you mean?


    [[Right now, he is secretly heading toward my country to discuss the future of his country.]]


    That is some outrageous news.


    The United Kingdoms standing will get even worse if they are absent in this meeting.


    [[I want to let you know first, Guild Chief.]]


    I see..I will notify them that it is fine to have a representative attend the meeting instead. Not attending at all would be much worse after all.


    The United Kingdom is also a country that has invaded the Empire.


    If they do not attend this meeting then they will fall under suspicion.


    But he already made his move huh.


    That sounds very like that man.


    So the first move he made after he stabilized his country was to improve the rtionship with the Empire.


    Well then, let us call the other kings. We have a continental crisis to discuss.


    In response to Clydes words, the guild staff of each capital started to move.
