Erick saw three other people besides Roderick and got to know them a little. During the one month, he lived in this world, he had familiarized himself with the language of this world and gained important information that he needed to know.
How to get it? Easy.
He just had to tell one of the 3 people who were always with him to look for the important information he needed. It only took a few days to gather a lot of simple information and images that many organizations in the world have.
Unlike the world he was born in previously which was still so backward despite having magic, this world was already quite developed in its own way.
If we make a comparison, this is like how Erick still has to rely on pigeons to send messages, whereas in this world they have developed magic and fast communication methods.
In this room, apart from Roderick who was currently alone, the other three people brought two other people who stood beside each person sitting. Pier also left Erick's side and stood by Roderick's side.
“It seems that the pressure faced by Rosemary's family is enormous.” Erick looked at the people who came to this place as he walked to the chair that had been provided for him.
Roderick, who saw Erick already sitting in his chair, said to everyone in this place
“Since the person I was waiting for has arrived, I won't delay this any longer. We can start right away.” Roderick looked at the woman who was sitting while enjoying a cup of hot tea that he provided.
“Of the many people who wanted to come to see you, some are already here.” Roderick looked at Pier to explain it to Erick.
Pier cleared his throat softly as he began to introduce the people present. “Everyone here probably knows each other well. "It's just that, for the convenience of the guests that the Rosemary family specially invited, I will introduce them one by one."
“First is the Union magic institute which is the result of collaboration between the Pendragon kingdom and the Federation in the past. Ms. Linda who is the representative of the Union Magic Institute.”
The woman Pier calls Ms. Linda waved her hand at Erick. Even though her clothes were quite luxurious and had a natural charm with a green color that matched her emerald eyes, there was something wrong with the expression this woman showed.
Erick didn't know for sure but he had felt this feeling somewhere.
“Strange… I feel like I've seen something like this before. Do you know anything?” Erick asked through the system to all the members who came with him.
He actually didn't expect a specific answer but he soon got answers from No.1 and No.2.
I remember this aura. While at Austin Farmland, I felt this aura once. Maybe a year before we were recruited by Tower Leader.
He's right. I also remember it clearly. It's just that we don't know what it is because the location of the aura emission comes from one of the islands in the Austin farmland. We can't go in there because the islands are said to be a place that cannot be entered by anyone.
Zaratul answered Erick's question. “You don't need to think too hard about it. The woman had a fragment of a tree called the Old Willow tree. With the quantity that woman has, she was likely just lucky enough to get a leaf and integrate it into her body.”
Erick just nodded and didn't ask any further. He only listened to the long explanation that Zaratul gave them through the system.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
This person turns out to be quite active when it comes to something. Erick thought.
“Did I not attract the attention of young master Erick? Although I can't say that I am the prettiest, I can be sure that I have enough beauty to fulfill what the young master wants.”
“Ahhhh… Honestly… seeing a young man like you, especially with such an amazing body really makes me feel a deep liking.” Ms. Linda licked her pink lips while looking at Erick with quite a vicious gaze.
Amazing body? What does she mean?
Erick didn't understand what the woman in front of him was saying. However, something was interesting about what he knew about the Magic Union Institute and the woman known as Ms. Linda.
Genius and an Innovator who could be considered a little crazy. Linda Cruise is very famous at the Magic Union Institute and is also a Professor who teaches in various places.
His area of expertise… Erick couldn't say for sure. But according to the explanation of what Zaratul said about the Old Willow Tree, she has a very great affinity for plants.
Just like him who has a great affinity for the light element or Zaratul who seems to have a good affinity for shadow magic.
Seeing no reaction from Erick, Ms. Linda no longer teased him. But her gaze was still fixed on Erick's body which was so enchanting in her eyes.
Pier explained to the other members one by one. In short, they are people who have influence or interest in Erick and the organization behind them.
In particular, one of the people behind the representation was a person with the role of Detective from the Destruction Control agency. The case they had in Maple City was so troublesome that they had to mobilize a detective to investigate the involvement of Erick's gang.
It was so big because the person sent was someone named Moriarty. He is a famous detective who is rarely deployed by the Destruction Control Agency unless there is a big case that he has to investigate with his own eyes.
On the other side of Moriarty, a man wearing brown clothes smoking a cigarette in his hand smiled sarcastically at Moriarty. “I think the Destruction Control Agency is quite panicked by what is happening in this city. Sending someone who is said to be the best investigator of the Pendragon kingdom as a representative… you guys seem really desperate.”
“Cut The Crap, Z. I don't want to argue with the Maple Secret Society. If it wasn't for the insistence from the higher-ups over what happened to the Betlam family and the crazy fight that previously took place in this city... I wouldn't even think twice about leaving this place.”
The person who was called Mr. Z did not answer but just smiled while exhaling cigarette smoke. “What do you care about our Maple City? As far as I know, the Destruction Control Agency always turns a blind eye to disputes involving the Great Magus stages. ”
“There are many cases like the feud between Count Flora and the 3 great Magi of the Zenith Mausoleum. Or what is most often discussed is the case of Duke Bellingham's mass murder just because he was drunk and the wine tasted so bad. I wonder why you guys don't control something like that.”
"Could it be possible..." The corners of Mr. Z's lips grew wider when he looked at Moriarty with a sly look. “Ah… so you didn't come here to investigate the hidden organization that Mr. Erick belongs to. "That's right... why would the Destruction Control agency send their best detective as a representative for this sacred meeting?"
“Z!!!” Moriarty slammed his hand on the table angrily. Even though the impact was so strong, no one was affected by the aura of the 6 Loop Great Magus.
Even Erick was protected by Zaratul from any possible impacts.
"Don't think that because you are hiding behind the skirt of the Maple secret society you can act as you please. If you want to fight, I will serve you right now.” Moriarty reached his hand back before being stopped by one of the people beside him.
"Mr. Moriarty, we are not here to find trouble with the Maple secret society." the person beside him pressed Moriarty's shoulder with slight pressure. That made Moriarty immediately calm down and sit back in his chair.
Mr. Z, who had taken out a dagger in his hand, immediately put it back. “If you really want to fight, I won't refuse that. It's just that you guys need to prepare to fight the Maple Secret Society.”
"So do you want to do it?"
Moriarty did not answer again and ignored Z's challenge. The atmosphere between the two camps became tense but no one tried to stop either of them.
Roderick didn't care about either of them and just sat watching. Linda also had the same thought.
It's quite rare to see such an entertaining sight nowadays. So why bother stopping it?
The last person who had not been introduced by Pier didn't say anything as if he wasn't interested in the fighting of the children in front of him. He took the cup of wine that was in front of him and drank it until it was finished.
After a while, he glanced at Roderick and the young man with golden hair who also didn't comment anything.
Without anyone realizing it, he put the gels back down while looking with a new expression on his face.
Interesting.
