�Captain-nim.�
�Quiet.�

He quieted his subordinate. His cold gaze was looking at a spot on the ground.

�It is as Cale-nim expected.�

Cale and crown prince Alberu had contacted Clopeh a few days ago to talk about an urgent need to cooperate.
It was not for the Paerun Kingdom but just for Clopeh.

< We believe it is highly likely that the White Star's subordinates will infiltrate the Lake of Despair, one of the Five Forbidden Regions. We are requesting your cooperation during that situation. >

Clopeh recalled the contents of that contract.

� It is as I expected.

Cale�s voice sounded cold and low.
Cale had been worried about something while planning the trip to the fake World Tree.

�The Elves already tried and failed once.�

The reason for it was the dead mana liquid.
Cale had thought about this attempt through the White Star�s perspective instead of the Elves.
He would think that the Elves would attempt to come to destroy the fake World Tree again.

�He probably expected for me to be involved as well.�

Cale had a connection with the Elves after saving the Ten Finger Mountains� Elf Village in the past.
The White Star�s side would have expected the Elves to ask for Cale�s help and that they would come in large numbers.
That was why once they thought about Cale and the Elves coming to the Eastern continent�

�They would have expected the Western continent to be empty as well.�

If Cale was the White Star, he would try to protect the fake World Tree while attempting to destroy the real World Tree at the same time.
That suspicion was correct.

� You remember our plan?

Clopeh gave a short, �yes, Cale-nim,� in response.
He had naturally agreed to take part.
It helped that the contract had discussed the benefits for Clopeh, but�

��Most importantly, it is getting involved in the path of a legend.�

�Keke.�

The corners of Clopeh�s mouth slowly started to go up.
An unbearable level of passion-filled him up. JrNovels.com
