Chapter 325 – Master #1

The life of a man named Glem who became a fixer became more spectacle the more he looked at it.
How could he choose without hesitation the path of joining an evil organization?

It was so natural that I thought I was getting a cigarette from a friend!

―Do you want to smoke a weed?
-Good. Stop one

That’s why there was no hesitation in Glem’s move.
Right away, he signed a contract with Trinity’s organization members and even made a dark oath to worship the demon king.
Since I’m watching this bastard, it seems that there are real rumors of vocal abuse.

―To go to the Wiseman’s laboratory, you have to cover Mrs. Glem’s eyes. We will remove the blindfold after you arrive.
―It doesn’t matter, so please send it to the research institute as soon as possible.

Trinity’s gang took Glem to the Wiseman’s laboratory while blindfolded.
It was probably because she couldn’t trust Glem yet, but Glem was now full of heart to be loyal to the Wiseman.

―After receiving the procedure, what kind of mission will you be given in the organization? Will she be given a mission to slaughter church members? That would be fun.
-You’re right. As expected, Miss Glem is talented.
―Chuck! Excessive.

Arriving at her laboratory, her blindfold was removed and Glem was placed in a white room.
The Trinity gang member who brought him here disappeared somewhere, and countless people who looked like wizards filled the room.

Glem tried to talk to people directly.

-Who are you guys?
―Hey, I came here because I heard that you can become a first-class wizard!
-Aha… Did you all come to receive the Wiseman’s treatment just like me?
-That’s right. The elderly seem to be in a similar situation to us, let’s work hard together and become first-class wizards.

After talking with the people, Glem realized that they, like herself, had come to be treated by the Wisemans.
They were corrupt people who wanted to gain power even by selling their souls to the descendants of the devil.
At first, she thought they were in the same situation, so they all talked together, but soon the muffled voice died down.

Squeak!

-Nice to meet! Thank you for following the long way to receive our Wiseman’s treatment!

It was because the real Wiseman approached people after opening the door.
It was an incubus with horns on its head like me and a quarter staff in its hand.
At a glance, you could tell he was a Wiseman.

‘He looks eccentric like Albert.’

It was the first time I had seen a Wiseman other than Albert.
Wearing a pure white gown, he really looks like a Mad Scientist.
Should I say that it is an impression that will leave a lasting impression even if I lightly commit an inhuman human experiment?

―I am Randel, the director of this research institute. As a direct descendant of Wiseman, he is a wizard who has inherited the dark lineage of the demon king. To put it bluntly, I’m going to make you first-class wizards!

When the director of the research center came out and said he would raise the level, people cheered.
Randell Wiseman heard the cheers and put on a very amused expression.
As expected, Randall had the temperament of a clown like me, just like the lineage of the demon king Loki.

―Wow, woowaaaaa… !
―I will swear allegiance for the rest of my life!!

But did I say that people should listen to the end?
Randell let out a cruel laugh amidst the cheering.

―But I can’t make all of you first-class wizards. There are as many as 50 applicants who are gathered in this room right now. I don’t want to invest the research institute’s budget in scum without talent. So, I’m going to take a test and choose just three of you.

When I said that I would choose only three people, the cheers of the hopefuls stopped suddenly.
It was as if all the hopefuls to join were now competing with each other.
There was no atmosphere where they pretended to be close, and they started to notice each other.

―We Wiseman prefer wizards with excellent combat skills. Wouldn’t it be best to test your abilities in a bloody battle?

Moreover, the test method was also bizarre!
Randall Wiseman opened his mouth with a smile.

―Do you know what I mean? Kill each other from now on!

Killing each other and killing each other to select the last 3 people!
That was the Wiseman’s test method.

-I beg your pardon?
– No, that’s nonsense!

He brought up the story so refreshingly that at first everyone thought it was a joke.
There were also people who laughed and protested towards Randel.

―What bullshit is that! Didn’t I promise to make you a first-class wizard if you came this far! This is a scam!
―Let us go home immediately!

However, among the people gathered here, there was a person who understood the test method faster than anyone else.

-Fireball.
―Kuaaaaagh

It was Glem!

Glem threw fireballs without hesitation and slaughtered anyone who wanted to join.

The first thing I killed was the person who had protested against Randall.
Then, in order of weakness, he burned the prospective members one after another with flame magic.
Since he was a mercenary who had already been on the battlefield for a long time, his skill in killing people was amazing.

―Sa, save me!
– Die quietly.

With her murder trial over, Glem was finally left standing proudly as one of the last three.
Randall Wiseman, who was supervising the test, spoke to Glem with a pleased expression.

―Did you say Glem? A mercenary wizard who roamed the battlefield, right? Congratulations!! You can go with us! Haha!!

If it was a show program, it was such a pleasant reaction that a necklace would have hung around Glem’s neck.
Wiseman was so mad that he was laughing even as people were dying right in front of him.
It’s the same that Glem is crazy, so he laughed the same way.

―From now on, you are Trinity’s Fixer. He is an elite soldier who carries out missions for us Wiseman. The body strengthening procedure will begin tomorrow morning, so please wait.

Since then, Glem’s life has been one of success.
Glem, who became a first-class wizard through the treatment of the Wiseman, learned the great magic called [Psionic Energy].
It was the only moment in the life of Glem, who was always filled with an inferiority complex, to feel satisfaction.
Because first-class was the ultimate goal that all wizards pursue.

―Every time you successfully complete a mission, I will teach you a new advanced magic.
-All right!

After that, Glem carried out the missions given to him by the Wisemans. Like assassinating nobles who take a hard line against the devil worshippers, stealing ancient artifacts, or massacring church paladins.

Every time the mission was successful, he was able to acquire new magical knowledge, so Glem was satisfied with his life as a fixer.

A whopping 20 years!
These are the years when Glem obeyed the Wisemans.
She has done well as a hunting dog for 20 years.

―Glem, it would be a pity to leave excellent personnel like you rotting away in our research center. You have been assigned to Trinity’s headquarters starting today. Consider it an honor to work in a place where Master, the head of the Wisemans, lives.
―Thank you for recognizing it!

In the end, Glem was recognized by the Wiseman and was assigned to Trinity’s headquarters.
It was the headquarters of Trinity, where the heads of the Wisemans and their immediate blood relatives lived.

‘Master!’

At this point, I couldn’t help but feel intense curiosity.
I had heard an explanation from Rumi before, and Master was the title given to the head of the Wiseman family.
It is said that he is a boss who reigns like an emperor to Trinity’s members and Wiseman.

It must have been a plan that came from the Master’s head that immediately caused a riot by casting hallucination magic on the fishmen and orcs.

‘This is a big deal!’

If you follow Glem’s memory, you will be able to confirm the true nature of the Master.
I talked to Delia outside and stopped her double speed function.
This moment could not be the most important part of Glem’s memories.

‘Delia! Are you listening Right now, Fixer is leaving for Trinity’s headquarters. It’s our chance to find out where their base is, so please speed it up.’

Outside, Delia responded in a very surprised voice.

[I-Really brother? You say you can find out where Wiseman’s headquarters is? I’ll slow down right now!]

The fast-flowing memories gradually slowed down and became the same speed as reality.
Glem, who was moving in a wagon, stopped at a terrain that looked like a plain with Trinity’s gang members.

I wasn’t wearing a blindfold, so I could see clearly what Glem was seeing.
Because now Glem was an executive of an organization trusted by the Wiseman.

―I will go down to the ground through the magic lift. Trinity’s headquarters are underground. Fasten your seat belt tightly.

Glem and the members of Trinity descended underground through an elevator hidden in the plains.
Glem was able to reach Trinity’s headquarters only after going down 500 meters underground by magic elevator.

The moment the elevator door opened and he saw the underground headquarters with his own eyes, Glem was perplexed.
She surprised not only Glem, but also me, who was watching by her side.

―Hey, is this the headquarters?!
-That’s right! Welcome to ‘Paradise’, the paradise of demon worshipers. I was very surprised when I first saw it too.

A huge city was built at the Wiseman’s headquarters located 500M underground.
The artificial sun was floating in the sky, illuminating the ground, and the wizards were controlling the climate, so a better world to live in than outside was prepared.

It was truly a paradise worthy of its name.
If it weren’t for the Wisemans who ran the paradise.

―Tonight, Master plans to convene Trinity’s gang members to give an important speech. When it is time for your speech, you must assemble in front of the palace.

Loki’s immediate blood relatives, including the Master, lived in a palace in an underground city.
It was a fairly large building, so you could see the palace from anywhere in the underground city.

Time passed and the night came when the speeches began.

Residents of the underground city gathered in front of the palace.
Glem also mingled with the residents and listened to the Master’s speech.

―All my vassals have gathered here today.

Finally, a deep voice resounded from the balcony of the palace.
The Master, the leader of the Wiseman, appeared on the balcony.

―Proud Wiseman’s blood relatives, and members of Trinity’s organization! Now we can say that we are a miniature version of all the demon worshipers wandering the continent. Am I wrong?

To the master’s question, the demon worshipers gathered in front of the palace clapped their hands and answered loudly.
All of them seemed to be worshiping the master like a god, so the heat of the scene heated up.

-Yes!!

I raised my head and looked at the master standing on the balcony.

‘What does a master look like?’

However, Master was wearing a pure white mask and a pitch-black robe wrapped around his body, so he couldn’t properly recognize his face.

It was barely recognizable as Wiseman because of the horns of the dreamer rising out of the mask.
The Master’s horns were unusually stained red like blood.

‘A dream horse with bright red horns…’

I want to take off the mask and check my face right away.
