Chapter 30
[28] They ran off with it . (2)
First of all, this security magic was too strong for my skill level . However, I knew a place where there was someone who could help me with this problem .
It was none other than the Walpurga Sisters Society .
Walpurgas are like guardian goddesses . Therefore, they were the experts in seals, security, and barriers which are used for protection . Margarita or Angela would certainly be able to unlock it, no matter how powerful it is .
This magic zipper must contain something very important . However, what I am after isn’t some extravagant equipment .
What I wanted was some letters or documents which will show who Philip talked with during his lifetime or what objectives he might have had .
Since the appearance of the 7 guardians, the empire’s political landscape has changed from what I had known from before . Finding out the identities of Philip’s allies has become a necessity .
But before leaving, a separate mission was given to the vampires .
“You will be in charge of an important task for me . ”
“Please give us your order!”
My plan was to dispatch these 35 vampires to the empire’s south-west region for the purpose of intelligence . As a starter, I made a decision to send 20 vamps to Heidelberg, the capitol of Pfalz Electorate of Brunswick-Luneburg .
“Although Friedrich has come into power, Philip’s masters have not been completely obliterated . There must certainly be some signs of struggle in Heidelberg, so keep your eyes open . ”
“Yes, my lord!”
Next, 15 vamps were dispatched to Wittenbaier which had become the frontline during the battle of Harpheim .
“You will watch Pajemut’s military . If you see any irregularities, you will immediately report back . ”
“Yes, my lord!”
Pappenheim was placed in charge of these two groups . A number of crystal balls, along with treasures that were obtained from Hejacks were given to him .
“Use the crystal ball for communication . And these treasures and gold are about 2,000 Florins for you to use to finance your activities . ”
“I will not fail you, my lord!”
“Good . I will expect good results . I shall leave before you . You are to clean up every trace from this ruined city before departing for your mission . ”
“Yes, my lord . We bid you safe journey! My lord!”
I headed to Rhinepelden where Walpurga Sisters Society was located .
It took four days to reach the Monastery of Walpurga Sisters Society after leaving the ruined city .
“You’ve come back sooner than I expected! I don’t believe you are ready yet to attack Pajemut?”

“Of course not . ”
Margarita welcomed me with a smile . Like an excited child, she chattered while helping me unload my bag . And she ran quickly to pour a glass of wine and offered it .
“Drink, drink . Come on . ”
“Thank you . I’m glad to see you doing well . Marie . ”
“Thanks to you . My complexion has certainly improved . Even my back has become flexible having wielded a sword for the first time in a long while . Hahaha!”
Margarita shook her head and looked at me after laughing .
“That’s that, now Valler . You’ve changed a lot in a few days . Hmm… I can sense deep magic, at a grand sorcerer’s level?!”
After realizing that I had achieved a grand sorcerer’s level magic, Margarita could not help but be astonished .
“What the heck having you been doing in the past few days!”
Her eyes were wide open as she seemed very surprised . I suppose, even I would be surprised if someone, who I have not seen for a few days, was to appear with a grand sorcerer’s level of magic .
“Well, some things happened . Marie, I’ll explain everything, could you hear me out?”
What was important was the next step . She had to know that I’ve killed Philip . Seeing my seriousness, she quietly sat into a chair .
“I’ll listen . ”

“Thank you . Actually in the past few days…”
I explained everything that has happened in the past few days carefully . The parts like summoning the undead was mentioned ambiguously since the clergy rarely takes Necromancy well . So, I changed the story and told her that I hired some mercenaries I knew in the killing of Philip .
“You’ve killed Philip… . . ”
“Yes . Do you believe I’ve made a mistake?”
“No . If Philip was alive, the political confusion would have been much worse in Pfalz . The devil kings are in it up to their necks . At times like this, it would be catastrophic to let them incite internal strife . ”
It was a response that did not fit well with a holy person . However, that was the exact character trait that allowed her to lead the Walpurga Sisters Society .
“Besides, he was the villain who had betrayed our sister and shot her . Our society has no reason to be compassionate . ”
“I am relieved to hear your thoughts . ”
“Valler, you have not come all the way here just to report that, you must have something you want?”
“You’re correct . Could you be able to unlock this?”
I held out the magic zipper .

“I got this from Philip . An unusually powerful security spell has been placed on it . I want to find out what’s inside of it, with your help . ”
Walpurga Sisters Society was a partner that I would need to keep going forward . I wanted to strengthen the trust by sharing secrets . Certainly, she has taken this gesture positively .
“Alright . I am also curious as to what Philip was hiding . ”
After examining the magic zipper for a while, Margarita concluded .
“It is very strong . But, you’ve come to the right place . Our society is the best in the empire when it comes to this . Give me one week’s time and I’ll open it for you . ”
She insisted I stay at the monastery a while, but I got up saying that I had other places to go to .
“I’ll make a trip to Bittenbaier . My injured comrades are there . I should go pay them a visit and see how they are doing . ”
“I see . Then return back in a week . We’ll open the magic zipper after you are back, Valler . ”
Nothing to worry about now that the magic zipper was left in the hands of the Sisters Society . In the mean time, I planned to meet with Sergeant Schultz and the fellows .
It has been only nine days since we parted our ways, but it felt like many months since so many things have happened in that time . This time around, I will buy the drinks .
Along with Sergeant Shultz and my fellow comrades, there were also the 15 vampires which I had dispatched . The sun had already set when I arrived at the city, so I decided to see the vampires first .
