A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 75

The situation report proceeded quickly.

This was because the sequence and truth of events had been organized to some extent.

“So we were able to escape from the subspace without external help.”

When Berukon finished speaking, Valentis Luminen raised his gaze that had been fixed on the documents.

He put down the quill pen he had been rolling in his hand and asked back.

“Are you certain that Krazaru’s core was truly destroyed?”

“Yes. As a weaponsmith, I can be confident even if I stake all my years on it.”

Berukon was a person who had tremendous pride in his own life, philosophy, and the path he had walked.

So if such a person was confident enough to stake his entire life on something.

“If you say it with such certainty, then it must be true.”

It was when Valentis, judging that the meeting had ended, was about to gather and organize the documents.

“Commander.”

Suddenly Elanes stepped forward.

She had a confused expression on her face.

“You’re finishing it like this? When we couldn’t even properly recover Krazaru’s core?”

“The core was destroyed. Didn’t you just hear that?”

“Of course I heard it. But there’s no evidence, is there? There are only testimonies from the Factory Manager and the Commander King…”

Valentis Luminen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He tightened his lips for a moment before speaking.

“Are you arguing that it’s unreasonable to adopt testimonies as evidence?”

It was the same very stiff and cold voice as before.

But Elanes, who had flinched, quickly nodded her head.

“Honestly, if you think about it, isn’t it a bit like that?”

Krazaru’s core was not an ordinary object.

The Order, the Imperial Court, mercenaries, and even prominent nobles and wealthy people.

‘Everyone coveted this unprecedented byproduct.’

Such an object, once obtained, would help its possessor in some way or another.

‘Sell it for money, craft something and it becomes a top-grade weapon.’

You could also keep it and choose your opponent well to make a profitable deal.

Elanes’s gaze slowly turned toward the Commander King.

Toward the mysterious necromancer who sat demurely and had been stealing glances at Valentis Luminen from a while ago.

‘A mercenary… and a mage at that.’

Could they not covet and resist such a useful object?

If she were the Commander King, she felt she absolutely couldn’t do that.

Frankly speaking, only the Commander King and Berukon knew what happened in the subspace.

So what if the Commander King had threatened Berukon with dark magic and stolen the core?

For a Commander King who summoned spirits, it wouldn’t have been difficult to handle Berukon, who was single-minded about weapons.

‘Besides, my intuition is almost never wrong.’

Elanes lifted her chin slightly.

“If you think about it, someone could have stolen it in the middle, right?”

Ripper, who had been listening, let out a sigh.

Berukon was also looking at Elanes as if dumbfounded.

“Stolen it! Are you saying that I or the Commander King are hiding Krazaru’s core and not handing it over!”

Elanes shrugged her shoulders at the angry Berukon.

“Let’s not take it too emotionally. The more thorough we are in handling work, the better, isn’t it?”

She turned her gaze back to Valentis.

“Krazaru’s core has very high value as a byproduct. Rather than settling the situation with just testimonies, we should conduct a proper investigation if necessary.”

Valentis Luminen tilted his head very slightly.

“A proper investigation, you say.”

“The two people who directly saw Krazaru. I think we should at least conduct body searches and residence searches of Agabert Prince and the Factory Manager.”

Silence fell over the meeting room.

Ripper tapped Elanes as if telling her to stop, but she didn’t withdraw her gaze from Valentis.

And the same was true for Tie.

‘A search…!’

Body searches and lodging searches.

No matter how you looked at it, this was an unfavorable situation for Tie.

After all, Ppupppu, who came from Krazaru’s core, was currently in the Hanbit Kindergarten bag.

While Tie was secretly rolling her eyes,

“Fine.”

Valentis Luminen’s cool voice fell from above her head.

Before she knew it, he was staring at Elanes with a calm expression.

“However, it’s late today. We’ll conduct the residence search when dawn breaks tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow? But…”

However, Valentis ignored her words and stared at Berukon.

“Additionally, the Weapon District will be sealed from this moment. From now on, all movements of everyone inside will be controlled by my subordinates.”

As if those words were some kind of signal, several paladins who had been waiting by the door approached the table with disciplined steps.

Elanes frowned as she looked at the paladin standing beside her.

“Wait, why am I…!”

“If someone stole Krazaru’s core, then anyone who stayed in the Weapon District today could be a suspect. The investigation must be fair and accurate.”

A look of absurdity appeared in Elanes’s eyes.

She bit her lips tightly and then stood up abruptly from her seat.

“You’re going to conduct body searches soon too, aren’t you? Even on ‘innocent’ us who were suddenly called to the Association while resting.”

Though her words were full of hostility, anger, and rudeness, Valentis Luminen didn’t even move.

He simply raised his gaze quietly and said.

“The body search has already been completed.”

“What did you say?”

“You seem to have forgotten that I was the one who sealed Krazaru 35 years ago. And that I have the ‘Awakening of Sacred Vision’ as well.”

Elanes’s mouth closed.

‘Come to think of it…’

She had truly forgotten.

The Awakening of Sacred Vision.

A technique that creates resonance by operating extremely trained sacred power.

Valentis Luminen’s ability to detect energies he had experienced before with that technique.

When Commander Luminen gestured, the paladins who had been behind the five people each took a step back.

“The search was completed the moment I entered the room. I didn’t sense Krazaru’s magic power. It means there’s no core in here, at least.”

Gulp, the sound of the Commander King swallowing saliva echoed softly.

Valentis Luminen raised his gaze.

“Moreover, his magic power isn’t detected throughout the entire Weapon District either.”

He added dryly.

“I’ll accept your objection and continue the investigation until the next day. That’s all.”

“Hey, child. Quickly lie down here. Quickly.”

Inside the large room where all the furniture had been pushed to the edges.

Tie, who had been staring at the night-fallen window, turned around at Veil’s voice.

Veil was patting the thick blankets layered four deep on the floor.

“You sleep here in the middle. Don’t go anywhere, stay right here!”

Tie nodded her head and then ran pitter-patter to the middle of the blankets.

Around them, other unit members were busy preparing for bed.

“Enzo. Do you need bedding?”

“I’m fine! I can sleep well on the floor too.”

“Alright. You just sleep using your luggage as a pillow. Child, give me one more pillow?”

“I don’t need a blanket either. Give it to Astie.”

“Really, old man? Don’t complain about it later.”

Watching Veil extort bedding from the unit members suddenly reminded me of right after the meeting.

For some reason, Valentis Luminen, who had been staring intently at Tie, was the first to leave, and Tie and Basto returned to the visitor’s quarters guided by the paladins.

Then, not long after, Olek came to the quarters with a troubled expression.

‘Um. By any chance…’

Olek’s request was simple.

He was asking if Agavert, who had been using three separate rooms, could stay together in one room just for today.

‘Apparently they suddenly have more guests and are short on rooms.’

At first, I hesitated.

Sleeping with the unit members would be fun, like camping, but the other unit members might feel uncomfortable.

However,

‘Sure? Why not. What are you doing? Hurry up and tell them yes.’

Before Tie could even think it over, Veil readily accepted the proposal.
