'The place is within the city.'

This worked in my favor. It would make it a little easier for my work.

'The western area, huh.'

Except for the fact that that was where the upper classes of Castle Rock lived, there was nothing special about it. It was hard to imagine that there was such a large site underground, but seeing that Jung Hayan pointed this out with confidence, it seemed that I would not have to worry about an error.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am."

"Alright. Thank you, Hayan."

"Hehehe."

'I think it'll be okay...'

The location wasn't bad. There were some things I was worried about, but to be honest, it didn't matter if the underground site ended up getting swept away.

'It's also far away from Yeongju Tower...'

Considering the fact that it was also on the opposite side of the church, it really wouldn't mean much if it disappeared off the map.

'Not bad.'

Even as I mulled over my thoughts, Jung Hayan continued to stare at me. Since I had this settled, it would be prudent for me to join the meeting.

"Good job, Hayan."

"Ah... It was no problem at all!"

"I'll see you later."

"Alright..."

I personally liked putting together puzzles. As one more piece fit in, I began to feel better. Anyway, even if I did not move, the situation in Castle Rock would continue to change.

After praising Hayan and stroking her hair, I was immediately notified of Count Castle Rock summoning all guild and clan masters in the territory. This only made me smile.

I knew a situation similar to this would happen if this were the Holy Empire. Although similar in its conscription, it was the free people's duty to fight for the empire as they themselves were living within its borders.

'It's actually a very good situation.'

After all, it was Blue that had informed them of the impending danger. If I had to explain it, it would mean that we were in a pretty good situation even before the wave had started.

As I moved towards the conference room, I saw Count Castle Rock and Kim Hyunsung talking. They both wore serious expressions, but this did nothing to alleviate my happiness.

"Is that true?"

"Yes, it is. There are many similar situations already appearing in the forest."

"This hasn't happened in decades..."

As soon as I snuck into their conversation, their eyes began to focus on me.

"Normally, a threat sends a warning and doesn't come. Then, at some point, it suddenly comes in. I think we should prepare for it."

My role was to support Kim Hyunsung's opinion and have the others believe in him.

Even if something suddenly happened, there would not be many people to trust. Whatever would come out of the mouth of the Honorary Bishop of the Holy Empire would be different.

At my open, trusting expression, Hyunsung nodded at me with an expression of gratitude. Building up his courage, he began to talk once more, looking every bit like the man I admired.

"I have already told you, but signs will continue to appear. We checked it personally during our hunt. It is surprisingly similar to the signs that occur in cities that receive monster waves."
