_________________________

Hollow Palace, a palace located in the Royal District, was once the residence of a nobleman who was deposed after being accused of conspiring against the royal family.

It is currently inhabited by people from the Bernard Empire.

The ISSD and regular soldiers ensured the security of the palace.

Currently, two ISSD members standing near the palace gate are talking to each other.

"Sergeant, I heard that they are going to our country. "

"Yes, but don't be happy; our mission is not over; we still have to stay here. "

The second soldier was a little disappointed. "I'm getting bored staying here. They don't even have common facilities here. Look, it's so hot today! And We don't even have a fan."

"Yes, you're right. The heat is really unbearable today," the sergeant agreed.

Just then, a wagon was seen coming from a distance. Slowly the wagon reached them. The sergeant quickly walked forward and looked at the driver and said, "Who are you?."

"We have brought you food supplies," the driver said.

The sergeant went to the back of the wagon and saw a man sitting there and several boxes and sacks.

"Okay, you may enter."

The wagon slowly began to enter the palace. It stopped in front of the palace, and other ISSD members who were present rushed over and began to unload the wagon.

However, the wagon driver and his companion entered the palace.

Although the soldiers and ISSD members saw them, no one stopped them.

The wagon driver and his companion entered the palace and approached a room, opened the door and went in. It was Joseph's room, a decorated and spacious room, which had the impression of a royal atmosphere.

As they entered the room, they found Joseph sitting at a table.

"Ah, Dizzy and Felix, you're here," Joseph said, his voice filled with excitement. "What did you bring?"

Felix said, "I have collected several magic items and magic scrolls. I hope they can be very useful to us."

Dizzy sat down on a chair, "So Joseph, did you get anything important from the nobles?"

Joseph leaned forward, lowering his voice. " A noble mentioned their trade routes are in disarray. They've lost two key shipments to pirates. Their economy is more fragile than they let on."

"Hmm, I've heard about that too. There's a possibility that a major shipment will be delayed due to this sabotage." Felix said

Joseph's brow furrowed. "Sabotage? How reliable is this information?"

"From the lips of one of their guild leaders, I assure you," Felix replied, a grin spreading across his face.

"They suspect it's a rival faction trying to seize control of the trade routes."

Dizzy exchanged a knowing glance with Joseph. "Then we could potentially use this to our advantage. If we take the right moves, we can benefit a lot from it."

"Precisely," Joseph said, his voice gaining confidence.

"I also heard that a war between Britannia and Latvia may begin soon. Although I am uncertain about this, many of Britannia's nobles have begun to increase their military capabilities."

"Hmm.... This is very important information."

"I have something important too," Dizzy said, placing a piece of paper on the table, "I found this in the Royal Library of Britannia."

"Ah, the Royal Library where you work as a Clerk," Joseph said; there was a hint of humour in his voice.

Dizzy looked a little serious and said, "Joseph, this is not funny. I am a spy and we can do anything to gather information."

The smile on Joseph's face faded and he became serious," Sorry, Dizzy. So tell me, what did you find out?"

Dizzy took out an ancient map and a worn manuscript from her bag and placed them on the table, "I discovered an old manuscript that speaks of a magical artefact hidden within the Britannia borders. It's said to hold immense power."

Joseph's eyes widened. "This could change everything. But are you sure it's true?"

"I got it from an old book that was written during the Alka Empire."

"Huh! A book from the old empire, so it could be true," Felix commented, a hint of interest in his eyes. "There are many legends and histories about the Alka Empire. If this book contains accurate information, it could be a valuable resource for us."

Joseph felt a little embarrassed by this. Because he didn't know about this Old Empire. Although he had collected a lot of information about Britannia, he was clueless about this Old Empire.

"Can you tell me what this Old Empire is? I've never heard of it," Joseph asked.

Dizzy and Felix looked at each other, and then Dizzy said, "By the old empire, we mean the Alka Empire. It was a super country that collapsed 300 years ago. Most of the countries on the Ostra Continent were once part of this empire. "

"So was Britannia part of that country?" Joseph asked.

"No, Britannia was not part of this country, but yes, many parts of Britannia were part of the old empire at the time. The old empire was divided into seven parts. Jimland, Macau, Aurul, leaner, Amazonia, Harnas, and Latvia."

"Britannia was a small country at the time. They attacked and captured Macau, establishing Britannia as a middle country," Dizi explained.

"On the other hand, Aurul and leaner united to form the Republic of Aurelia," Felix added. "These new nations were embroiled in various political and military conflicts among themselves, which later influenced their history."

Joseph nodded, "Hmm, I understand. So now tell us where is it located?"

"Somewhere near the old ruins of Castle Broz," Dizzy replied, her finger tracing the inked lines on the map. "The locals regard it as sacred ground. It's under Moon scriptures. It is a very big religion. Britannia and its surrounding countries."

Felix shook his head, "It's risky. But if it's something valuable, it will be very beneficial for our country."

Joseph nodded, "I agree with that. But this work is so dangerous. If we get caught, it will have a big impact on our relationship with Britannia."
