○ Sillu, King of Dragons
It came without any foretaste.
One of the civil servants living in the Wang capital did not serve in the morning.
One of my colleagues was surprised that I was to rest without permission and sent my men home.
Then the clerk originally took his breath away on the bed, while his family was dressed in bedtime.
There is the word "dead".
In the case of unexplained illness or death, this is often announced.
This clerk and his family happened to be treated as dead on the same day.
On the surface.
"... um, why don't you come out? Thank you, that's enough."
Sirle Vehler, Her Majesty's (right foot), labored the "right hands" who came to report before dissolving them.
Sill had been asked by the Left Hand to look into the death of a civilian.
We only know that a new type of poison has been used, but the "who" and "for what purpose" parts are all blind.
The fine traces have disappeared with the discovery of the death of a civilian and the entry and exit of many.
So, I was listening during the day, doing a perimeter investigation at night, but I didn't get any information that would lead to the killer.
At best, the purpose and everything remained unknown.
"... I can't do this anymore."
First of all, I don't have a clue.
With all the family members dead, it makes no sense to keep an eye on the house.
We concluded that searching for the killer in this state was almost impossible.
"Shadows are precious right now, and you can't use them all."
Tell "Left Hand" and Sill thought about completing the request or asking for a replenishment.
The day after that.
A dragon country merchant died in the throes of his family.
It is the second case.
Not yet known to the dragon people, but it may be time to do so.
If you're a merchant, you know a lot of vendors who come and go.
If the whole family were to die for an unexplained reason, it would be rumoured.
Then some people should come out remembering a civilian who stopped doing the same a while ago.
This develops from unexplained death to serial murder.
That would inflate your imagination.
"... oh my god. It's going to be hard to close the case."
Sill continued to understand that he had to stick his neck in the matter.
"... what do you mean!?
Sill held his head.
Every few days since then, mysterious death has occurred.
There are already suspicious Wang Urban people starting to emerge.
The dead have nothing in common.
Civilians working in the Royal Castle, merchants of the Dragon Nation Chamber of Commerce, well-known artists, guard captains......
If we forcefully raise the common ground, is it that everyone lives in Wang Du and has a suspicious death for each family?
But if it turns out, will it change anything?
"... it's unusual."
It is impossible to be vigilant throughout the Wang capital.
The Wang capital is too big.
I am therefore choosing a somewhat important place to stick people up.
Still no damage has been prevented.
"It's obvious this is artificial, isn't it? Besides, it's poison that's used.... I wonder if Harim did it."
Kharim is one of the five heads of the Merchant Nation and is in the process of arranging a nomination behind him.
Because of their great influence, they will not catch them, and if they do, they are to be processed secretly.
Whoever sees Halim is poisoned in the Canopy Mountains.
It is likely that whoever possesses the poison is lurking in the king's capital.
"You don't know anything about what you're after. Should we at least let the big merchants and nobles protect this by enhancing their personnel?"
Sillu thinks of the map of the Wang capital in his head and despairs of the number of "shadows" he needs.
You'll need at least a few times what you have now.
No damage has been reported yet, but there are still many people in need in this country, such as the Dragon Guided Church and Dragon Trainers.
I really thought about putting in a "shadow" and stretching the net... then.
- Dozah.
A body was thrown in front of Sill.
"What!?
The number of bodies is three. Everyone's neck is bent in a weird direction.
"Hey, long time no see"
"Huh? Huh? Chris...... more"
When it is the "shadow" of Her Majesty the Queen, we do not call each other by name even between acquaintances.
Because I don't know who will ask.
If you have two names, I'll call them with that, and if not, I'll call them with you, you, etc., and grab the generic name, uncle, aunt, lady, old man, etc.
No matter how surprised I was, it was a failure to pronounce my real name.
Kristan Rosalight, who appeared before Sill, grinned bitterly and stood one finger in his mouth.
"Sorry. Surprised."
"Well, I know how you feel. So this is it, but I guess it's part of this executor... He's an assassin of the Spellman."
"Of that death?
"Yes, I let you dive in the back while you were exploring on the surface"
"The table... I'm still trying to make an unknown move."
Sill frowned at the way Kristan said it.
In other words, there seemed to be a bunch of folks whose actions were flawed and they were making a fuss about it.
Kristan perceived it and defeated it. That would be the case.
But here, Sill wondered.
Kristan has the same "right foot" as Sillu.
Combat ability is inferior to (right hand), and you never fight from yourself in the first place.
There's no way you can defeat an assassin of a spellman.
"What do you mean? How did you take him down?
Kristan had a troubled grin on the stuffed Sillu sword screen.
"You mean that? Of course I'm not the one who knocked him out. I'm next door...... don't you realize?
"Become?"
Though it's dark here, if anyone is next to Kristan, I'll notice... yes, when Sill thinks well.
……
Exactly. I didn't speak up this time, but the surprise was the best I've ever had.
"Next door is my father-in-law, you know?"
"What's your father-in-law... eh?... and... and... Reaper!?
Sillu's cry sucked into the darkness.
