"Yes, Theresia is dead." Annatasia nodded and said, "Soon after, Wilheim left the Sword Saint Family and claimed to be the old surname Terias before his marriage."

"No wonder..." Natsuki Subaru nodded suddenly. No wonder from the beginning that the old sword ghost claimed to be Terias rather than Van Astrea.

"However, why did Lord Willheim leave the Sword Saint Family?" Rem looked at Annatasia with confusion, "Is there any reason for this?"

"Isn't this simple?" Annatasia glanced at Rem, then said with a smile: "Of course it's for revenge."

"For...revenge?" Rem murmured.

"After Mr. Wilheim's wife, Miss Theresia, was killed by the white whale, Mr. Wilheim fell into grief for granted. In addition to grief, Mr. Wilheim was also filled with anger and murderous intent - targeting the white whale." Annatasia explained calmly, "After his wife's death, Wilheim began crazy training, hoping to avenge his wife, but after his own strength reached the top, he found that revenge was unrealistic."

"So what?" Natsuki Subaru asked.

"So it's very simple. After the hopeless revenge, he naturally fell into loss, but Wilheim did not give up hope and was still looking for traces of white whales all over the world. But unfortunately, he did not find the elusive white whales." Annatasia gently picked up his hands and said calmly: "Later, Wilheim had a dispute with a senior executive of the Sage Society for some reason. Mr. Wilheim was locked up for a day because of his move toward the Sage Society."

"…and what?" Natsuki Subaru continued to ask.

"Even my intelligence network knows what happened later, I only know that Kurschul Karlsten went to see him once when Wilheim was confined." Annatasia shrugged and replied: "And when Wilheim came out of the confinement room, he decided to follow Kurschul Karlsten."

"I understand." Natsuki Subaru nodded, then slowly breathed, then glanced at Anatasia who was smiling and said, "Lord Hexin already knows everything, but he says he doesn't know anything."

After connecting all the clues that the other party told him, Natsuki Subaru could come up with some answers to the questions even if he thought about them.

For example, why did Kurshu buy a large amount of iron ore to make weapons;

For example, what words did Kursch use to impress Wilheim and let him follow her;

For example, what is Kurshu doing now...

The answer to these three things is the same and the only one.

"That guy, actually..." Naozuki Subaru pulled the corner of his mouth and murmured: "It's not true, is it?"

Even Natsuki Subaru himself was unwilling to believe this matter, but countless evidences were told openly - don't worry, this is the answer!

Kurshu is preparing to fight against the white whale!!

[Host activation of large-scale chain main mission: Famous King Capital!]

[Famous King Capital: Are you still struggling with how to make your reputation in the King Capital, Knights, and the upper level of the Kingdom? Don't struggling, the opportunity is right in front of you! What kind of glory is higher than the white whale, which defeated one of the three major monsters?]

[First Ring Task: Organize Team!]

[Organizing the team: If you want to defeat the white whale, you can't rely on your current host. Please ask the host to bring Kurschul Karsten and Anatasia Hesinla into your team in a short time.]

[Task Reward: 500 Mission Points.]

‘The main line of the large chain...ha…’ Natsuki Subaru pulled the corner of his mouth, then immediately put down all the messy thoughts and began to think.

‘Since the system has released the main line, this matter has been established.’ Natsuki Subaru gritted his teeth and thought: ‘So far I have not found any errors in the tasks released by the system! So, since the system said that I wanted me to bring Kurshu and Annatasia into my team to join the alliance, it means that I must have the intelligence or things that these two people need…’

His brain was running rapidly, and he mobilized the large amount of life experience Natsuki Subaru gained during his first practice. 'First think about it, what do these two people want? Then again, the types of these two people are completely different, one is like a general, and the other is a businessman... and so on?'

‘Businessman?’ Natsuki Subaru felt like he had caught something, ‘Talk about businessmen… Isn’t the purpose of a businessman just to pursue profits? As long as you pay enough benefits, won’t you be able to cooperate with Annatasia?’

"What's wrong?" Anatasia asked, tilting her head.

"Now, Lord Anatasia Hesin." Subaru Natsuki stared at her with a bright look and said word by word: "I wonder, do you have any idea of ​​having a deal with me?"

—————

—————

That afternoon.

"Sorry, Rem, I was talking about a date." Natsuki Subaru looked at Rem who was following him with apologetic expression and said, "So I negotiated with Annatasia for an afternoon this afternoon."

"No, it's okay." Rem shook his head. Not only was he not angry, but he looked at Natsuki Subaru with his eyes radiating, and said, "It would be better to say that Rem was happier today because he saw the Subaru Lord whom he usually couldn't see!"

"I can't see it normally... is it so magical?" Natsuki Subaru looked at Rem with a smile and cry, and said, "It's just a normal negotiation."

"But, isn't Subaru very good to be able to negotiate with that Anatasia Hesin?" Rem looked at Natsuki Subaru in front of him and said, "More importantly, Subaru hasn't suffered much loss yet."

"But I still suffer a loss." Natsuki Subaru waved his hand helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, let's have supper first. We will go to negotiate with Kurshu in the evening."

"Yes!" Rem nodded, then hummed a little tune and walked towards the kitchen, leaving Natsuki Subaru sitting alone in the living room.

‘Huh, anyway, let’s get the troublesome woman done first…’ Natsuki Subaru rubbed his temples, recalling his negotiations with Anatasia, and couldn’t help but mutter: “It’s too smart, no wonder he can become the leader of the Chamber of Commerce.”

Natsuki Subaru was exchanged for the mining rights of a unique and special ore part of the ore under Mezas's leadership, and received the full help of the mercenary group [Iron Tooth] under Annatasia - of course, it also included Julius, the knight behind Annatasia.

‘Next, it’s Kurshu.’ Natsuki Subaru smiled bitterly and murmured: “To be honest, what exactly can impress Kurshu?”

The "something" that can impress a person must be something that that person desires. So what does Kurshu desire?

‘It’s really trouble. It would be great if Kurschul was a businessman like Annatasia, it was nothing more than profit…’ Natsuki Subaru rubbed his temples and gasped the air conditioner and said, “I think about it, what military force does Kurschul need? Even if Mad is a force, I don’t have the military force to take. Money? Although Kurschul is a little short of money now, he definitely has more than me. Rights? What rights are I, a little civilian, talking to the duke?”

After discovering that all money and power were gged, Natsuki Subaru said distressedly: "I can't find a place to start... Speaking of which, what are the three major pursuits in life? Money, power and... reputation!?"

"By the way, it's reputation!" Natsuki Subaru suddenly hit his hand and said, "Damn, why didn't I expect it!? Kurshu is the king's choice, and as the king's choice, she naturally needs to defeat the white whale's name...Damn it and wait!"

Natsuki Subaru was already desperate - the system mission was to gain reputation by himself, so it was naturally impossible for Kurshu to take away his reputation.

‘Damn, reputation is not good enough… Then what exactly does Kurshu need!?’ Natsuki Subaru rub his temple with a painful face and murmured: “Calm down, Natsuki Subaru, start with what she needs most now! What is her most eager thing now? It is to attack the beluga whale! So what is needed to attack the beluga whale? Forces, equipment... wait, am I missing something?”

Natsuki Subaru turned his brain and began to recall one of the information Anatasia told him about Wilheim—

["So it's very simple. After the hopeless revenge, he naturally fell into loss, but Wilheim did not give up hope and was still looking for traces of white whales all over the world. But unfortunately, he did not find the elusive white whales."]

"The elusive white whale..." Naoyue Subaru murmured these words, then suppressed his crazy beating heart and said to Wang Dong: [king, can I query the system, where will the white whale appear recently!?]

In Natsuki Subaru's extremely anticipated eyes, Wang Dong said in a calm tone: [Yes.]

"The breakthrough has been found!" Hearing Wang Dong's affirmative reply, Natsuki Subaru clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Kurshu, I've taken it!"
