- Ki, Ki.

The keys fall, and the gates that open themselves are swayed by the wind and move powerlessly. Me and Ries, who regained their fortune in the sight, crossed the gates of the Schultz Chamber of Commerce, both of them.

As soon as possible, the sound of battle that plunders your ears.

As long as I hear the sounds of metal hitting each other and exploding from left to right, they've already started fighting everywhere.

Looks like Theon and the others are already starting.

"Oh. Let's hurry too, Doyle"

If you whine like that while making sure that the junction is functioning, stretched out to encircle the Chamber of Commerce grounds with the help of Rafael and the others so that Ries can rush me and reach for the front entrance door.

I've explored in the sign detection that the number of enemies is not so high, but there are indications that they might be strong one day, and as far as the situation is concerned, perhaps, Elf. So I guess Ries is in a hurry.

I don't know how that feels...

I couldn't stay calm like this if I knew Maris was here with me, and I watched her push the door open thinking about it, but I grabbed that arm and held her on the spot without feeling the moment Ries tried to cross the lay.

"Doyle?"

It is at the end of an open door that you look at as you stop Ries, who looked back with an astonishing look on his face. What was spreading there is no suspicious signs in the idle store and on the polished floor without a scatter.

But there was some discomfort.

I don't see any abnormalities when I check with my eyes, but I kind of feel like I shouldn't be able to keep my legs going.

Reminds me of that feeling I remember, in an appearance scene with Shion's master, Lord Dabol, the other day, I reach out to the ground and use [Exploring the Ground]. That's how I explored the ground, but there was no sign of anything.

Still unable to wipe the discomfort, I follow my instincts and create and throw in fist ice.

A few seconds later, I wondered if the ice had fallen on the floor with cancer, followed by an explosion.

A hole about the size of each person was pocketed in the center where pieces of wood poured down, burnt and blackened with paralysis.

"... you know exactly what I mean when I say there's no sign of anything"

"It's a survey. I felt the same way Lord Dabol was lurking in the earth."

Zero tongue-in-cheek in my heart as I give it back to Ries, who shrugged like I was impressed.

- Kikuri Mansion, is that it?

Instead of a trap using magic props and formations, we made it a classic method of implanting explosives under the floor to avoid being detected by magic, but this is quite troublesome. I was lucky enough to detect this time, but it will take time and use my nerves if I have to go along with checking for traps.

"That's an effective hand for someone like Doyle and me who's good at magic and sign detection."

"Oh. But the floor won't be a problem with this"

While I agree with Ries, I cover the floor with thick ice. It's troublesome not to be able to sense, but if you're not like a demon prop or formation, you shouldn't have a problem if you don't step on a bomb embedded in the floor.

"Right."

Once again in the building with the nodding liese, the cold air fills the lungs. Tips, tricks and walking on the ice floor, our speeds were sometimes slow to keep our perimeter on guard.

Traps set on walls and ceilings would be prevented in a similar way......

Clear this place up and it won't be over. If you think about looking for Lord Velco and the others after this, you can't ice the interior of the building. I'm tired enough to care, but I'll have to keep going.

As I proceeded with my eyes on the area to make sure I didn't miss the trap marks, I was in a complicated mood convinced that the likelihood of wanting it to come off within my imaginary ending was increased.

- Some of the employees at the Shultz Chamber of Commerce are working with Maris and the others.

I know what they're after, too.

It is likely that it was the elves who brought the holy tree out of the woods where it was cut down, but since then it has been known from the beginning that there were people who had carried it into the handel, processed it as a material for wood and medicines, and sold it out to the Great Shrine or wholesaled it to Zenos.

But I wanted it to be just being used. I knew that wouldn't be possible given Lord Velco's kidnapping and the thorough intelligence manipulation that followed, but still, I...

"- You have to know what it means for people to judge people and what they will produce later."

I now realize the weight of the words that Chief Elva told me in the dungeon. At that time, Zenos ran away by Maris' guidelines, so I didn't even have to think deeply about what Elva meant by his words, but not this time.

As far as this building, which has been turned into a teasing mansion, they are trying to resist. That is a sign that you are aware of your sins. Even if they were captured intact, they would be handed over to Handel's soldiers and probably never leave prison alive.

I felt signs of war, so I thought I'd stop.

But the reality, the enemies and allies are not all very well off.

That's natural. If you uncover the sin and capture the culprit, the sinner will be brought to justice.

I am still horrified by the fact that the people I have captured will be judged and redeemed with their lives. So I was hoping somewhere in my mind that it was just being used.

That's impossible, even though I know it.

- Doyle.

Called, if I stopped my leg, Ries, lined up next to me, was about to lead the arrow to the bow.

There were three signs waiting for us on the other side, a light brown door in front of us through the entrance where the reception was held, and we don't have time to get lost.

It's a path that my grandfather and Si Yingjie, Father and Mother, who have accomplished so many things. If we aim to cross his people, this fear of smoking in ourselves must not be avoided.

"Let's go."

"Oh."

If you nod to Ries, who was re-gripping the Holy Knife and setting his aim at the door, he bubbles with a sudden feeling of increasing magic.

"[Striking]"

That skill Ries chanted is magic on the arrow to make it more destructive, but that of a highly magical elf was different in power.

When the arrows released from the white, thin fingers turned the enchanted magic into wind and wrapped it, they seemed to destroy not only the light brown door in front of them, but also the door visible in the back, running through the corridor in a straight line with the sound of the decision to the wall around it.

But not long after that power, the rain of arrows pours down on me and Ries.

"[Ice Wall]"

Replace Ries and the place while holding back a large number of arrows with ice walls, and receive the shaken hammer with a holy knife reinforced with ice. If we stopped comparing forces quickly to the feeling of ice being crushed and distance ourselves, we would have met with a mercenary-like man with a strong body.

I'll take care of that one.

"Oh."

If you say that and melt the ice wall, Ries follows him as he shoots an arrow into the platinum hair running down the hallway. I dropped that back off sideways, confronting the mercenaries, while blocking the hallway with the ice wall again.

Then skip the slaughter so as to keep those who were secretly trying to chase Ries off the ice wall.

"I'm your opponent, too."

If I spoke that way to an assassin-style man who showed up to see if his black coat had been mutilated, the mercenary who took over the hammer laughed.

"Ha. You're really annoyingly good"

"Thanks for that."

If you respond to provocation, both mercenaries and assassins make their own gains.

"- I don't know about a privileged kid like you, but Elatoma needs it for guys like us."

"Ri"

It's not like the two of you who confront me to defend the dialogue you were told to squeeze out and beyond have no idea. Although.

"It's not necessary for the future I want. Where did you go with former King Pinez and Lord Velco?

The face of a mercenary and an assassin comes to my face, naturally giving up on my reply.

"... this is the situation. Don't say that."

"Ri"

They snort at each other, and I understand so much that we don't know each other.

We have to fight.

To live the way you want.

"You know our answer, don't you?

"Oh."

With the holy knife in place and agreeing, the killing spreads like stabbing my skin.

"- Well, you can die here."

Hammers of mercenaries to be swung down and blades of impending assassins.

That was the signal to mark the opening of the battle.

I broke my weapon, pruned the consciousness of the mercenaries and assassins who made it impossible to move by fitting ice locks. I was blocking the way. I proceeded to melt the ice walls.

"It doesn't seem like a problem."

"And Ries."

Rendezvous with Ries in the hallway, which became a place of battle between the elves and an unbroken state of sight for the cause.

Then we prune the consciousness of the elves sewn with arrows on the walls, often walking further into the back.

You never encounter a person or an elf after the first three people you encounter. Just to replace it, bombs, pitfalls with sword mountains, etc. were planted there.

The trap that was set up as if to compensate for the number of disadvantages gradually increases its size, eventually becoming a room unit and holding us back from going.

But there's no way that me or Ries can handle it to the point of contact.

The room where the giant guillotine would go was Ries dropping the blade from the chain with an arrow, and the crowd of golems packed into the room was swept away by me releasing [Ice Dragon], and the hallway with the thorny walls looming from left to right ran through as I blunted my movements with the ice wall.

That's how we got there, Chairman Elatoma's room.

The original lord of this room is absent, but perhaps this is the last.

In fact, being on the other side of a polished wooden door is generous for six people and the size of the room.

"This is the last place."

"I guess."

In response to Ries, breathe up.

Neither me nor Lies were intact by the time I got here without any major injuries, and they made me consume a lot of magic, and more importantly, I'm too attentive and tired of my thoughts. For humans accustomed to reading magic and signs, a classic trap without magic is more effective than you can imagine.

And five signs that the elves and hands that would have been collected in the last room. The acting chairman with them seems to be turning his head a lot.

- I won't let you get away with it.

Clarifying my ears doesn't make me hear a fight. From the feeling of the signs gathering here, I'm guessing the Sion, Sumva and Pail lords are cleaning up. The spirits are watching from above, and there's no escape in case we screw up.

Well, they won't be willing to run away...

Like the mercenaries and assassins we fought earlier.

Those who are ahead are those who are taking part in Elatoma's plan of their own accord. I guess some of them have no choice but to sip the delicious juice or be defeated and captured in this land where it was a battle. Those people are troublesome.

Take a breath with Swoo and pull yourself together. He then pulled out the holy knife on his hips with his right hand and attached his left hand to the door knob.

"We're gonna open it."

"Oh."

If you make sure Ries nodded and push the knob full of strength, the unlocked door will open with a gushing loud noise, as expected.

That's how me and Ries saw the impending fire-arrow storm.
