SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 202

Great Library (2)

What is this again? Naturally, I thought that the Duke Justafe, the head of the faction to which Ruberon belonged, was behind it, but I don’t know.

Lokan looked confused for a moment, then came to his senses.

Realized his own mistake.

“Is Duke Justafe among those who want to use corrupted power?”

-no.

The question was wrong. A suppressed soul can’t tell lies, but there’s no reason to talk on its own. It was also possible to give misleading answers if the question was not answered correctly.

“Who is the leader of those who use corrupted powers?”

-that… … This is the Duke of Killamanta.

“… … what ”

This time, even Lokan didn’t expect it.

If it was Duke of Killamanta, wouldn’t he rather be classified as the opposite of Duke of Justafe?

Then Count Ruberon was a spy?

He was confused, but quickly regained his senses. Because there was a time limit.

“Are the Dukes of Killamanta and Justafe on the same side?”

-no.

At first, it seemed that the two were not one. It seemed that Count Ruberon was acting and spying.

“Who are those who use corrupted powers?”

– With the Duke of Killamanta… … .

He again listed the names of the nobles.

Even though Ruberon didn’t know all of their identities, the answer ended sooner than expected, but Lokan nodded his head as if satisfied.

All of this is being recorded as a video, so it’s worth checking out step by step.

He checked the remaining time and asked the last question.

“Where did you hide any data or information related to this routine and those who took advantage of the power of the Fall?”

Paat.

After a rather long answer, Ruberon’s soul was scattered.

Since Spirit Speaking cannot be used consecutively against the same target, this is the end of it.

Still, everything he wanted had been accomplished, so Lokan did not regret it and immediately moved his steps. He went out on his own to collect hidden materials based on what he had heard from him.

While he was talking, the knights thoroughly searched the inside, but there was no clear result yet.

[You have found traces of rebellion #1.][You have found traces of rebellion #5.][You have found traces of rebellion #2.]Lokan slowly, but without hesitation, collected data.

He had some hidden gadgets and secret places, but that didn’t matter at all.

He moved like a house and collected data, some of which were buried in the ground outside of the inner city.

‘I’ll have to deal with this first.’

But Lokan couldn’t deal with them all at once. There are characters that are too big to touch at once.

So, for the first time, I decided to deal with the people involved in this case first.

By combining the data, it was decided to catch and process those directly related to them.

I thought I wanted to go straight to the Duchy of Justafe, but the string attached to it was too short.

After dividing the number of people, the other counts who were directly discussed began to catch up.

“Let go, you bastard!”

“Marquis Rokan, what are you doing! Even if you work so recklessly… … !”

Whoops!

This time, however, he refrained from killing as much as possible.

It was confirmed that the emperor did not impose sanctions on Rokhan’s steps, but rather than killing them and destroying them, it was to draw out a higher line through their mouths.

Because of this, they ruled with violence and captured them, and the human nobles began to tremble in unfamiliar frosts.

[The Emperor has called you. Please go to the Imperial Palace within 6 hours.]

In the midst of such a raucous riot, the emperor summoned Lokan.

Lokan received the message and was able to roughly grasp the emperor’s intentions.

‘That’s a good response.’

If he wanted to stop Lokan, he would have sent someone right away or called to come to the Imperial Palace immediately. But he gave him a grace period of 6 hours.

This could be seen as the same meaning as taking the guise of drying Lokan, but not blocking it.

Due to the cooldown, it became difficult to use the spirit magician by summoning a sidekick, but Rokhan led the answer with his fist, found evidence through the search, and blocked the breath of other nobles.

There were few nobles associated with him in the first place, and since he had already been given the title of Marquis, it was difficult to prevent it unless the same Marquis or Duke, who was one step above him, stepped forward.

‘I can’t go out.’

However, it is also funny that Duke Justafe would step forward. He was bribed of ‘treason’ and ‘treason’, which are not other crimes, so if he intervenes in the wrong way, he can get involved too.

Perhaps because of that, the marquis level and above were strangely silent, and strange things started to happen instead.

“Marquis, the Earl of Colorando is dead.”

“The same is true of Count Huschbal. The office was also kept clean.”

Count-level figures have either disappeared or have begun to be discovered in sudden death.

Obvious tail cuts.

After receiving a report that there was no trace of a pleural effusion, Lokan caught them only as much as possible and completed the investigation.

He went to the Imperial Palace to answer the emperor’s call.

“okay. They caught the traitors.”

The emperor who met again greeted Lokan with a very soft voice.

There was clear evidence that this was the case, and reducing the number of traitors who rebelled against his orders was also to strengthen the imperial power.

‘To be precise, not only the authority of the emperor but also the power will be strengthened.’

That’s not all. What would happen to the property, territory, and privates of the dead traitors would be confiscated and entered into the control of the emperor.

And it wasn’t bad for Lokan either.

As the power of the nobles weakened and the power of the emperor became stronger, the support of the emperor who supported him would also increase.

Moreover, as it became easier to unite, the power of the race itself became stronger.

No matter how much the emperor’s words were, the nobles would not give up their enlisted soldiers completely unless the race was about to perish.

“Yes. I accidentally found the evidence and searched for the people involved. We apologize for not reporting in advance due to the risk of destroying evidence.”

“no. well done I believe in you, so if you think the right thing to do, do whatever you want. As long as the cause is clear, no one will touch you.”

As expected, the emperor declared full trust and support for Rokhan.

Although it was a sudden visitor, I thought that it would be more convenient for the emperor to have visitors who knew what they wanted, rather than the nobles who had no idea what they wanted.

Unless they’re aiming for the throne.

And the emperor trusted the same NPCs. Rokhan’s belief is that if he rebels against him and tries to launch a coup, he will not help them.

“thank you.”

“After setting up a major, we made a big contribution to early detection of traitors, so compensation should follow. If there’s anything you want, tell me. Do you want the Imperial Palace to be reopened?”

Because of that, the emperor entwined Lokan as an item.

The opening of the Imperial Palace Mugo.

Although it was a benefit that had already been given to Lokan twice, the medicine did not come off easily.

I know that Rokhan is earning a lot of money from taxes alone, but the items in the Imperial Palace have a value that cannot be converted into money.

It is not a type that is tied to when acquired, so you can use it yourself or give it to your colleagues or subordinates.

If you give powerful weapons to high-master Talaran or Delas right away, won’t it not only increase your loyalty, but also increase your power?

‘The increase in power with just one item is not large. I need something other than that… … .’

But Lokan wanted something other than an item. He was debating whether or not to put it out of his mouth.

“In lieu of the Imperial Palace Mugo… … . If you allow me, I would like to enter the Grand Library.”

“It’s a great library”

“Yes. We want to explore the deepest parts without restrictions.”

Imperial Palace Library. It was a treasure trove of human history and knowledge. There were so many books that it would not be an exaggeration to say that there were books with all kinds of information, and there were skill books.

So the emperor interpreted Lokan’s answer in a different way.

“good. I will give you an S-class library pass like the royal family. However, you only have one chance to enter there, and I will give you the right to have a total of two books.”

[You have acquired an S-class library pass.][You can take out a total of 2 books from the Imperial Palace Library.][The skill book cannot be used in the library and can be acquired after taking it out.]

S-class library pass. Here, the S-class is Secret’s S. Permission to access even the innermost library that even a duke-level cannot enter.

“thank you.”

The corners of Rokan’s lips, who had received it, rose in a long arc.

There was also an unexpected income of two skill books, but he was sure that he would be able to achieve what he wanted through them.

‘The Lion King’s armor. You don’t have to let me know that you have it.’

What Rokhan wanted was the whereabouts of the other two ‘Sealed Arms of the Lion King’. There was one thing that the ancient emperor wore, so he thought that the emperor would know, but it was foolish to say it directly.

Knowing that Rokhan had it, the current emperor, Kaisman, might also be greedy.

There is a legend that says that if you collect all the lion king’s weapons, you can get the power he has, so it is strange not to be covetous.

So, instead of asking him directly, Lokan was going to look for it himself. If it was a large library, there would be a lot of history books related to the Lion King.

‘It’s boring, but… … I can’t help it.’

I can’t even guess how many books I’ll have to read, or even hundreds of thousands of books to do that.

But I had to.

The remaining lion king’s arms are two.

If it was collected, the seal on the lion king’s armor would be lifted.

‘It’s almost like graduation items.’

It is not known how much power the Lion King’s armor will exert after the seal has been lifted.

However, at least until you become a Grand Master from High Master, maybe you can use it until you graduate from Grand Master and become the Majesty Master you’ve only heard of.

The realm of the Lion King was at least known as the Grand Master, and there is a story that he may have been the Majesty Master.

After greeting the emperor, Lokan immediately headed for the Imperial Palace’s Grand Library.

[Enter the Imperial Palace Library.][Check the S-class library pass. Permissions for all libraries are open.]

As he entered the library, his pass was recognized automatically.

The title of Marquis alone would allow you to go quite deep, but the S-class library pass opened up access to at least Area 2 more.

[This pass is for one-time use only. Once you go out, you will need a new pass to re-enter.][If you need help, please call the ‘Library Manager’.]

“Summon Library Manager.”

Following the system notification, he made a sound and a magical creature appeared in front of him.

A more thorough management is achieved by managing it through a magical creature instead of a human who is subsumed by someone and can close their eyes.

“Search by title, content. ‘The Lion King’.”

Lokan immediately searched for keywords through the library manager.

The keyword is, of course, the lion king.

Then the search results were displayed immediately.
