75
Harmonious Cassadic
‘He was really alive.’
Baron Fullfoot let out a sigh as he watched Aaron confidently walk onto the field.
‘There is no place that is cut or broken. So does that mean that he really caught the great darkness alone?’
Great darkness···.
He was always mentioned as a strong man in the eastern part of the empire. He was a black magician who made a contract with the devil but did not lose his mind.
‘That kind of person alone···.’
Considering the nature of black magic that gives an absolute advantage to those weaker than oneself, that man was at least on par with the ‘Great Darkness’. Of course, judging by the fact that all of his limbs were intact, he didn’t seem to be on the same level.
Pulpouts gulped as he looked at the man’s back.
‘Who on earth would chase such a strong man?’
Fullfoot touched his neck with a cool sensation. If someone that strong had to hide in the outskirts, there weren’t many opponents.
The most powerful of these is···.
‘Is it the royal family?’
My mouth feels rough.
It wasn’t a word that was easy to pronounce.
‘Then… Nova’s judgment was correct.’
If it really was the royal family, they had to grit their teeth and pretend not to know. The moment even the slightest connection was discovered, the Cassadick family name would surely be forgotten.
‘No, is it too late?’
It was quite late, at least, since the man had entered Castle Cassadick two years ago. The royal family was no one to whom excuses could be made.
‘To survive···.’
Fullfoot’s head, full of dark clouds, was spinning.
‘I need to build up my strength even more.’
Pulpouts let out a sigh as he looked at the back of the man as tall as a mountain.
The man was too big.
So much so that if you put it in a boat, it will just get torn apart.
Also, if you are behind him, you cannot see anything in front of you.
‘By the way, he challenged that guy to a duel. What kind of crazy guy is that…’
Pulpouts turned his gaze to check the face of the man who was about to die.
There, at first glance, was a guy who looked like he could hit someone on the back of the head, his mouth wide open and staring blankly.
‘Did you say Dylan? That guy’s face is really···.’
I had the impression that he should never be put in a prime position.
Aaron said something.
Then Dylan threw his sword and took off his armor and all the clothes he was wearing underneath. I can say for sure that it took less than 5 seconds for him to shed all his clothes.
‘What the heck is that?’
While Fullfoot was embarrassed by the sudden nude show, the guy didn’t stop there. He lay down on the floor, exposed his stomach, and kept looking for his father while smiling broadly.
Fullfoot frowned at the sight, but gave a small exclamation of admiration.
‘Nakedness causes instinctive discomfort, making it impossible for anyone to touch you. Then, by exposing your stomach and assuming a posture of submission, you declare complete abstention···.’
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that this was the most likely option I could take if I were to face that vicious beast of a man named Aaron one-on-one.
‘Even so, in front of this many people… and even while I, the lord, was watching, he did it without a moment’s hesitation.’
Fullfoot nodded while observing the bastard’s survival method. No matter how many times he thought about it, it was the best option.
If a grown man shows his submission by lying down naked like that, it’s only natural…
“Eww!! Father! Father!”
‘You hit without hesitation.’
Fullfoot was once again amazed as he watched Aaron kick the naked man without hesitation.
The man named Dylan was wise in his judgment, but Aaron didn’t care one bit about him. He had no hesitation in using violence.
“Eww! Eww! Aah! Father… Eww!”
A series of shrill screams erupted.
Fullfoot realized for the first time that human screams could be delicious. That Dylan guy’s screams were really delicious.
I don’t know if it was because of his appearance, but it felt good every time he screamed.
The sound of Aaron’s fists and feet exploding was equally refreshing, and the exquisite combination of the two was truly amazing.
It was more lively and thrilling than any of the plays he had seen in the capital.
“Aaaaah! I was crazy! Brother! No, Father! I reflected on it! Baaanseong!!”
The scream was truly refreshing to hear.
Pulpouts sipped the wine placed next to him and occasionally clapped his hands.
The crowd was even more excited than Fullfoot.
They cheered and clapped their hands at the top of their lungs.
Among them, there were some who directly handed me a club and told me to hit him with it.
Aaron, who had been beating him for a while, looked around for something. He soon raised his hand and called out to someone, and upon closer inspection, he saw that it was the abbot.
‘Come to think of it, I thought you were an honorary monk.’
Fullfoot wondered why Aaron had summoned the abbot during the duel… no, during the performance.
Aaron said something to the abbot, and the abbot nodded with an uneasy look on his face.
A moment later, the abbot healed Dylan, who was already a rag, by shining a bright light. The vibrations of the weasel, which had been fluttering like a caught fish, gradually subsided.
‘Is it over?’
The moment when Fullfoot was about to get up from his seat to console his deep regret.
The abbot stepped back.
Aaron smiled and approached Dylan.
‘Hmm···.’
This time, unlike before, there was no cheering, only a low, sobbing sound.
Soon, a series of dull sounds erupted.
Dylan, who had fainted, regained consciousness and continued to recite his sins, but the performance that had begun again did not stop.
Those who had been cheering covered my mouth with their hands.
Aaron seemed to be declaring before the assembled crowd.
He said he was back.
I thought it would be best not to meet the man named Aaron directly.
‘Pretend not to know. Pretend not to know.’
Baron Fullfoot turned his gaze away and called out to Nova.
Nova, with a strange expression, approached the Baron’s gesture.
Pulpouts gave Nova various instructions in a small voice.
Aaaah …
Nova added her opinion, and Pulpouts nodded without hesitation.
***
‘What is this···.’
I let out a sigh as I looked at the large stone statue standing tall in the square. It was twice as big as I was, and it seemed as if it could move at any moment, as if so much care had been put into making it.
‘Kanna did it.’
There couldn’t be anyone else with such sculpting skills in the borderlands. He even assigned a personal wizard, but the sculptor’s talent was so outstanding that it made his head spin.
‘How was the stone carved?’
How long has it been since you carved ice? You’re carving a stone… I couldn’t even guess what would come next.
‘That’s too much.’
I couldn’t see my face because I was wearing a bucket, but my body was clearly mine, so my face felt hot for no reason.
“It’s my first time seeing your face.”
At that moment, someone spoke from the side.
I turned my head and saw a man wearing a strange helmet.
Upon closer inspection, it resembled Dark Vader’s bucket helmet.
‘Why are you wearing that in this hot weather?’
It was clear that he was crazy.
“You too have followed in the footsteps of the hero Deokgu.”
As I was about to leave, the words ‘Hero Deokgu’ caught my ankle.
‘Hero Deokgu? What is that?’
It was a strange, unpleasant taste that didn’t stick to my mouth.
“Hero Deokgu?”
“Yes, Deokgu… He is the true hero of this era. Weren’t you there during this incident?”
The guy’s voice sounded strangely familiar.
He answered, recalling his memories.
“I’m busy.”
“I see. So that’s why you don’t know about Hero Deokgu. You must be a swordsman, judging by the sword you’re carrying, but you don’t know the story of Hero Deokgu… I can’t just let this go.”
‘What are you saying?’
I couldn’t help but frown at the excited voice of the guy. Judging by the iron he was wearing, he looked like a knight, but what on earth was a knight doing here…
‘This armor looks familiar?’
I scratched my head, looking at the guy’s gray chest plate.
“Do you know the Great Darkness? He is one of the most powerful men in the East! He is a black magician who has accepted the devil, and he is the worst impure being in history! A dangerous person who has threatened the empire! He has targeted a small castle in the border region! The reason is unknown, but! Who can know the mind of the gloomy black magician?”
widely!
The guy immediately clapped his hands together and raised his voice.
There was a hint of madness in his excited voice that was unnecessarily annoying.
‘It was strong, but… it wasn’t the worst.’
As the guy said, the ‘Great Darkness’ was a very annoying guy who was not bad enough to be called strong, but not bad enough to be called the worst. He was definitely not a threat to the empire.
“Ahhh- Such a living, breathing nightmare! The ‘Great Darkness’ has laid its hand upon this tiny castle in the outskirts! Cassidy is a candle in the wind! No different from a male goblin to a female orc! But···!!”
The story flowed smoothly without a moment of hesitation, as if this wasn’t the first or second time he had done this. He even added subtle strength here and there, making me fall in love with it.
I listened to him as if I was listening to someone else’s story.
“The 21 knights who gathered under the guidance of fate, the inquisitors and monks who received the oracle, and so on! We did not give up!! We were united under faith and belief, but it was not enough to face the great darkness… But then!!!”
‘What kind of fate is this… They’re just guys who came here for the 40 gold…’
I was dumbfounded at the sight of him packaging himself, but I nodded because I found what he was saying amusing.
“Hero Deokgu has appeared!! The dead and demons are surging in like a tidal wave! In the hellish city of Cassidy, hero Deokgu has displayed incredible wit that no one else could have imagined!! Ahh! The peerless strategist Deokgu has come up with a strategy!!”
‘You crazy kids.’
My face felt hot for a moment at the guy’s excessive heat.
It made my face even hotter because some of the things he said came out of my own mouth.
‘At the time, the situation was so urgent that there was nothing I could do.’
I tried to calm my hot face down while making excuses in my head.
“That unparalleled strategy is… none other than strategy! Strategy! Chivalry! Strategy!”
The guy spoke clearly and forcefully, as if he were a wise man speaking the truth.
‘You ignorant bastards call it strategic cooperation.’
I nodded to him roughly, and he became excited and continued telling the rest of the story.
It was clearly an exaggerated story, but as I listened to it, it seemed to be true.
Dark Vader, the genius strategist and unparalleled hero, ended up sacrificing his life in a battle against the great darkness.
Everything was good, but I didn’t like the ending.
‘No, why are you killing me all of a sudden?’
At that moment, my anger surged and my fists tingled, but I held it back. The guy who finished his story shook his shoulders as if he was still moved by that moment.
Only then did I remember who it was.
‘It’s him. That… Rudolph or something.’
The knight who joined in the middle and was more excited than anyone else.
‘But why here?’
The tournament was over, but I couldn’t understand why the knight was wearing a weird helmet and talking to passersby.
“So we decided to stay in Cassidy to honor the hero Deokgu. ‘Namaiyad’ is the name of the group. Those who went on the legendary march with the hero Deokgu···.”
In fact, it didn’t matter whether ‘Dark Vader’ died or not.
After all, it was a mask made for disposable use.
The problem was the prize money.
‘My 40 gold coins···.’
I stared blankly at the helmet lying on top of the stone statue.
That stupid bucket helmet costs 40 gold coins.
The guy spoke to me again, perhaps because he thought I looked like a hero.
“You seem to be impressed by the achievements of Hero Deokgu as well. Hmm… Now that I look at it, you’re about the same size as Hero Deokgu! Of course, Hero Deokgu is about twice your size… But I’ll specially accept you into our group. It’s still early days, so the membership fee is….”
“Kuh! Adolgunim!”
At that moment, a woman with a familiar face appeared next to me.
The woman who was captured by Kustan. The woman who told me that Kustan’s secret was his left foot saluted while heavily armed.
‘What is Kuh?’
The salute was extremely bizarre.
“Kuh! Seigu. What’s going on?”
“They are supplying small stone statues of the hero Deokgu from that side. They say they cost 5 silver each.”
The woman who glanced at me said in a very excited voice.
‘···A small stone statue of Hero Deokgu?’
It was a word that somehow smelled strongly of Hannah and Kannah.
Just pick up a rock of the appropriate size and have Kanna carve it for 5 silver each? That’s ridiculous…
“That’s cheap! Five silver! Order 100 right now! I’ll pay for it!”
“Kuh! Got it!”
“Kuhh!!”
‘You crazy kids.’
It was hard to watch them salute each other, saying ‘Kuh!’ over and over again.
I took a step back and headed towards Nova.
The fanatics I had just encountered were shocking, but what was urgent was the 40 gold coins.
‘A wise and thoughtful orange.’
I kept mumbling to myself to pronounce it naturally.
When he arrived at the inner gate, the inner gate guards who were guarding him opened the gate in terror as if they had seen a monster.
It seemed that the negative perception had been ingrained because of the public weasel education that had been done earlier. The weasel, who was actually involved, expressed satisfaction by giving a thumbs up, saying that all the worries in his head had disappeared.
‘Anyway, he needs some training periodically.’
Since the child would get distracted whenever he got a chance, it was necessary to set a regular schedule and correct it right away.
Still, I was satisfied because the security check was much easier.
I passed the inner chamber and headed towards Nova’s room.
Knock knock.
“···Come in.”
Nova’s voice sounded strangely gloomy.
When I went inside, I saw Nova still in the same spot and posture. I was slightly impressed by her truly NPC-like appearance.
“Orange, I have something important to tell you.”
“Yeah, what is it?”
Nova asked in an unusually friendly tone. It gave me goosebumps for no reason.
“Just do as you usually do, Orange.”
“What are you saying?”
“He spent his teenage years without any friends, so he lacks social skills and grumbles about everything, but he’s warm inside…”
“Okay, shut up.”
I made my mouth look exaggerated.
Nova raised her eyebrows slightly at that.
“So why did you come?”
“Ahem… Orange, you may not know this, but I am actually very close with the hero ‘Dark Vader’.”
“What? No, keep going.”
Nova stared at me with narrowed eyes and waved her hand.
I cleared my throat with a loud cough. It was embarrassing to act so natural in front of Nova, who I knew so well, but I had 40 gold on me. I could hand over the weasel to the warlocks for that amount.
“Before the hero ‘Dark Vader’ goes into battle···.”
“I thought it was Deokgu?”
“No, that’s just what the idiots heard wrong. The hero’s real name is ‘Dark Vader.’”
“Hmm… It says that the winner is Deokgu? If it’s Dark Vader, things get a bit more complicated. I’ll have to come here to solve him…”
Nova, who had returned to her usual sullen expression, lifted one corner of her mouth and tapped her quill pen.
“Come to think of it, I think Taemyeong was Deokgu.”
“···Name?”
“Yes. Anyway, that’s not important, but Dark Vader… no, that’s right, Deokgu gave me full authority… unfortunately…”
I closed my eyes and meditated for a moment, as if I was truly honoring the hero. When I opened my eyes again, Nova was staring at me with eyes that looked like I was crazy.
“You caused all that trouble, and you really have no shame, do you?”
“Ahem… I’ll say it again, Deokgu has delegated full authority to me….”
“Do you know that kids these days run around shouting ‘Kuh! Kuh!’?”
I was about to say that not only children but also grown adults do this, but I held back when I saw Nova’s stern eyes.
“The hero’s legacy has been well maintained.”
“···.”
Nova glared at me with a serious expression on her face, the corners of her mouth twitching.
“Anyway, as someone who has been entrusted with full authority by the hero Deokgu···.”
“Whew- Oh, really? That’s good timing.”
Before I could finish speaking, Nova’s eyes flashed ominously. Nova raised the corners of her mouth as she pushed away the stack of papers on her desk.
“Our hero Deokgu-nim was destroying things so much. They say a hero makes his own path, and he must have been a truly great hero. He created roads here and there that didn’t exist before, so we had to redraw the map.”
I looked back at the thickness of the bundle of documents Nova had handed me. I was quite excited when we were having strategic cooperation, so I don’t remember exactly…
‘I broke this much?’
I flipped through the paper with a trembling face, then quickly closed it as memories of passion came to mind with each line I read.
“Come to think of it, it’s quite a burden for me, a mere security guard, to carry on the hero’s legacy. I will return everything I’ve been entrusted with to society and carry out the hero’s will…”
“···But! How can you charge a hero like that? He’s a hero who willingly gave his life for Cassidy.”
Nova cut me off with a mischievous expression on her face. I met Nova’s sparkling eyes for a moment and nodded quickly.
“That’s right! If that’s what you ask of a hero who gave his life to protect Cassadic, who would sacrifice their body for Cassadic?”
“Wow- that’s really shameless.”
“Thank you, Orange.”
I nodded my head in gratitude for Nova’s sincere admiration.
“···I wasn’t complimenting you. Don’t laugh. Anyway, I told you well. Who am I? I’m a secretary.”
“Oh! What a well-written, intelligent and beautiful orange!”
“Such obvious compliments don’t work.”
“Orange is a well-written, intelligent, beautiful, thoughtful and flexible person!”
“No… I told you it doesn’t work?”
Contrary to what he said, the corners of Nova’s mouth were upturned and he was trembling. Nova trembled, then took a deep breath and returned to his usual stern expression.
“Of the 40 gold prize money, 20 gold will be paid out immediately. The problem is that the 20 gold is divided into 4 months… The winner is supposed to spend 4 months in Cassidy, right? But what’s going on? Deokgu died.”
“Oh my, that’s….”
I thought I responded naturally, but Nova looked at me with a tired look and made a trembling expression.
“Whew… I really regret spending 20 gold. If only Deokgu had a brother with similar strength….”
Nova, whose words trailed off, took something out from underneath him. What Nova took out was a helmet similar to Dark Vader’s bucket helmet, but a very dark black one.
The material was unusual, being pitch-black yet glossy. It had a similar design to a bucket helmet, but the atmosphere it gave off was completely different.
It was the kind of helmet that the ultimate mastermind would wear. It was the kind of helmet that would satisfy the romantic notion of a mastermind that every man has in his heart.
“Um… For example, table tennis. It would be nice if I had a younger sibling like that.”
Nova placed his helmet on the table and wiggled his fingers, grinning.
“I see. Table tennis… Now that I hear it, it seems like Deokgu had a younger sibling like that….”
“Really? That’s fortunate. You don’t really have to do anything, you just stay in Cassidy and only act when things get out of hand like this, so it won’t be a burden.”
Nova smiled broadly, nudging the helmet towards me.
For the first time, Nova’s assistant was seen.
I smiled back at him.
“Deokgu’s younger brother. Takgu, who is the true master of the underworld but has a quiet personality and doesn’t talk to others, would like that.”
The cool texture of the helmet clung to my hand.
“Already set up···.”
I ignored Nova’s muttering and slipped the helmet on my head. It gave me a much clearer view than the Weasel’s stupid helmet. Even with it on, I felt cool and not hot.
‘I bet you gave him quite a bit of money.’
I lightly tapped the helmet and it made a heavy sound. However, it was light, suggesting that it wasn’t made of just iron.
“Does it fit? This is how you tie it.”
Nova, who had come right in front, touched the leather belt under the helmet.
“Rich Orange.”
I opened my mouth because the fragrant scent was bothering me.
“Of course. How much have I eaten here? How can I compare to a barmaid?”
I smiled and gave a thumbs up. Nova grinned back, showing off her mismatched dimples.
While we were playing around with the new helmet, Nova brought up another topic.
It was mostly about the current situation at Cassidy Castle.
The topics of the conversation were how serious the current situation is, the lord’s judgment on it, and things like the repair and expansion of the castle walls.
Nova hinted at a part where money could be made, and I nodded and put him in my head.
After finishing the conversation and getting up from my seat, Nova suddenly grabbed my arm.
“A promise is a promise. Sit down.”
I don’t know what it was, but Nova’s face was serious, so I nodded and sat back down.
Nova, who was sitting right in front of me, took a deep breath for a moment.
I felt uneasy for no reason because I could feel the seriousness in Nova’s face.
Nova closed her eyes for a moment as if trying to calm herself down, then opened them and began to pound her chest.
Kkung kkung-.
A show of gongs that started out of nowhere.
‘crazy.’
The rhythm and intensity of the tapping were quite dazzling, as if they had practiced.
The sight of a cold-looking foreigner playing the heartfelt Jajinmori rhythm while tapping his chest made the viewer think of many things.
The performance was so wonderful that Simcheong’s eyes were momentarily dazzled.
I briefly considered stopping her, but Nova’s expression was so serious that I couldn’t do it.
To that end, I decided to do my duty as her one and only audience.
“Despassito! Faster and faster!!”
When I shouted, Nova cursed at me, but I couldn’t hear her because of the clanging of the bells.
Nova’s face turned red as if it was going to burst due to belated shame, and he clenched his fists and trembled.
At that, I laughed out loud, then quickly ran away when I saw Nova pull out her dagger.

“Hey, Dylan, are you okay?”
“Huh?! Brother Aaron is the best! He’s my father!”
Dylan suddenly shouted, startling Berman and making him step away.
“I heard you have trouble hearing. They said it’ll get better with time…”
The grasshopper looked at Dylan, who was tilting his head and touching his ear repeatedly, with a pitiful look in his eyes as he answered.
‘Well, that’s true···.’
Still, I was glad that my attack on Aaron Chojang ended with him barely being heard.
“Huh?! Am I boring?! No! Brother Aaron is the best! I do everything for Brother Aaron!”
“No. No. Calm down. It’s okay. The foreman isn’t here.”
He patted the shoulder of the trembling weasel.
In some ways, it was great.
Berman probably wouldn’t have thought of taking over the position even after years since Captain Aaron disappeared, but that guy took over the position in just four days…
I wasn’t a good guy, but I was a good guy.
“You deserved it once. People with eyes like that need to get stepped on once in a while to learn their lesson.”
Kel said with a giggle.
As Kel said, Dylan’s eyes cleared after he got beaten up so badly by Captain Aaron. He showed the same passion he had when he first came in.
‘I guess it happens periodically.’
Berman looked at Dylan with pity as he kept shouting, “Yes?! Yes!!”
“Anyway, let’s go on a patrol. The leader is here now.”
Berman stood up and spoke with deliberate emphasis.
“Berman. I told you that you’re a guard like us. Don’t act like you’re some kind of person.”
Kel grumbled and got up.
“Huh?! Sunchang?! No! My father is Aaron! Aaron!”
“No, patrol. Patrol! Patrol!”
“Son Chang?! No, my father···”
The two left the headquarters, leaving Poole in deep sighs.
“I said there have been so many incidents lately that I haven’t had time to see Rosa.”
Berman nodded at Kel’s complaint.
That was right. These days, Cassidy has been having too many problems to handle.
Men would fight when their eyes met, merchants would often get their money ripped off, and there were even guys defecating on the streets… The inner city was busy dealing with the aftermath of the attack, so it was truly a lawless zone.
Currently, Cassidy is in such a mess that it’s hard to know where to start.
It was definitely like that···.
“I told you I would clean it up! Why are you invading my territory!”
“Because you’re around me! Are you only thinking of yourself?! Didn’t you hear what Aaron said?! If there’s poop on the ground, feed it to the closest one?!”
“Crazy··· No way···.”
“Then clean it up quickly! Why on earth are you shitting in the street!”
“Aaron… this ignorant and devilish bastard….”
Soon, two men who had been raising their voices began to pick up the fallen lumps with their bare hands.
‘What is this···.’
Berman remained dumbfounded.
It wasn’t just them. The streets that had been a mess just yesterday were returning to their original appearance.
If the residents did not clean up, they moved diligently with a desperate look on their faces as if someone was chasing them. They sprayed water on the smelly streets and pushed him away with wooden sticks.
The Skane kids and the District 6 gang, who used to fight each other whenever they met, were greeting each other with friendly smiles.
Their mouth muscles were trembling and their voices were choked up, but on the surface they seemed to be on good terms.
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. At that time, I···.”
“Huh… These guys are coming to apologize because Aaron is back? But for just the principal?”
Even young people apologizing to merchants and handing them money.
Cassidy was quickly becoming more lively as if it had found its center. However, all the residents moving around so busily had a large bruise on their faces.
“As expected of the leader. How many of them in one day···.”
Kel, who had been circling the castle, muttered with a strange tone.
“I know.”
Berman nodded with an emotion that was difficult to define.
***
Gesher Wind of the Imperial Eastern Administration rubbed his eyes and read the paper in his hand again.
‘I lost one-on-one in a tournament against a lustful man heading straight for Cassidy, and his opponent’s name was… Deokgu? And that guy Deokgu even blocked the great darkness?’
It was such an absurd story that I wanted to catch the guy who uploaded it and slap him right away. It was so unbelievable that Gesher Wind read it again carefully.
‘Are you kidding me?’
That was the most likely one.
There was no way that there could be anyone in the eastern frontier who could defeat that lecher one-on-one. And then he went on to defeat the Great Darkness?
It was a lie that was hard to even pretend to believe.
I briefly considered bringing this up to Senior Ben Hardt to have the pranksters drink some water, but then shook my head.
Ben Hardt had threatened not to report on that side any more. There was no need to stir up trouble.
‘Next up is a drinking party with the Southern Management Agency···.’
Besides, they were busy waiting in line somewhere else.
Gesher Wind crumpled up the paper, threw it in a corner, and started planning his future again. He couldn’t stay buried in the East, so he had to draw a line somewhere.
‘But if that prank is true…’
Gesher Wind suddenly became silent for a moment, recalling what was written on the paper.
‘The East is now out of reach.’
If the truly great darkness had died, then the meeting would be over. Then, it was clear that the ‘black blood’, now without a rival in the East, would run wild.
‘A ridiculous prank···.’
Just thinking about it for a moment gave me a headache. Gesher Wind shook off the thought and started thinking about where to stab next.
‘The Northern Management Office is too high… I’ll try the Western Management Office.’
Gesher Wind hummed and tapped his magic pen.
