"Actually, what do you think?I wonder if you're going to assassinate me at the right time to make peace with me.

In the carriage to the Adventurers Guild, I asked Isla and Ifrita that.

My senses suggest that it would be a bad idea to attempt to assassinate me at a time of deep ties with the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Merinard, even though I am in the middle of diplomatic negotiations.

"That's kind of a sweet idea.The Holy King is not a single rock, so you should be careful. "

"Nh. If there are forces trying to make peace, peace is absolutely forgiven, and there are forces saying that it is a total resistance.For these people, Koske is a target that we want to eliminate. "

I see.

Now that the Taka factions, which can be described as militants, are losing power because of us, the peaceful pigeons are in charge, but the Taka factions may move to assassinate me thinking of a single reversal.

"You're subtle, aren't you?You're bluffing peacefully. "

"For me, assassination and murder are basically stories in games and stories.I don't know if I'm particularly targeted. "

People who are routinely alert to assassinations, they're just babies.I can't help it.

Considering this, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the outside appearance suddenly became noisy.

"Huh? Why don't we just rumor?

"I don't know. I'll go out and see how it goes.Koske and the princess are waiting here. "

That's how Isla jumped out of the carriage - something that flew at high speed pierced Isla.

"It's obvious."

Karan, you can hear something hard fall on the cobblestone and roll.It seems that what seemed to pierce Isla was actually taken without piercing her.

"Don't come out of Koske."

That's how Isla tightens the carriage door behind her.At that moment, I saw what had fallen on the cobble.It was a short, thick arrow used for crossbows.

"Shit!

"I can't. You may be pulling your legs, so keep your guard down."

The ifrita pulls the hem of my clothes out of the shortcut and tries to jump out of the carriage.

"Gu... but that's why I'm putting Isla in danger..."

And when I challenged, the bees and intense sounds echoed from outside the carriage many times.Probably the sound of Isla's thunderbolt magic.

It's over.

Open the door and Isla returns to the carriage.Hurry, huh? Isn't it too light?

"The assassins have collapsed.I think some of them are alive, so I'll leave it to the people outside. "

"The people outside..."

When I opened the window of the carriage and looked outside, I saw Schmel and some Harpy tied up as assassins still lifting thin and white smoke from their bodies.I can see some guards.

"These guys could hurt themselves, so don't stick stuff in your mouth.You call the castle and tell them to get ready for treatment and detoxification. "

"Wow, I see.I'll be in touch soon. "

After hearing Shumel's instructions, the brown feather harpy's flame flies away.Did you notice my gaze? Shumel who dropped it off shook his hand here like he said not to worry.They were still escorting us in the shadows.

"Go to the Adventurer Alliance as planned.Because there are a lot of subhumans there now, the human leftovers stand out, and if there is anything, bloody adventurers will intervene.I'm not ready for an assassination. "

"Ha, yes!

I don't know if it's a rat, a chipmunk, or a hamster, but a veterinarian of yours who was a lord starts to reply to Isla with a frightened voice and move the carriage forward.

"Isla, are you hurt?Are you okay? "

"It's okay. I haven't received anything.Because I used magic to prevent new barriers. "

With that, Isla pulled an arrow from under the robe - a short arrow for the crossbow.

"I don't know what it is, but there's something painted on the buttocks.Probably poison. I want you to keep it in Koske's inventory. "

"Okay."

Receive the crossbow arrow from Isla and place it in your inventory.Looking at the raw material displayed in the inventory, it was labeled "Crossbow Arrow (Basilisk Poison Application)".

It seems to be poisoned with basilisk.

"I see. I saved you a lot of trouble."

"But a crossbow... I didn't know the Holy King's Assassin was using a crossbow."

"Nh. But it's already out among some adventurers.No wonder. "

Crossbow itself is the official equipment of the Royal Merinard Army, so a considerable number are already deployed.

In addition, Royal Army troops are scavenging monsters everywhere, so there is a good chance that crossbows will come into contact with ordinary people.It has already been confirmed that copies are available to the Adventurer, so it is no surprise that the Assassin had the crossbow.

Well, I guess so.

"It wasn't as powerful as what was being supplied to the army.Probably not made by Koske or used in the military.It was made by craftsmen in some city. "

"I see. I'd like to find out more about it later... but I didn't expect an assassin to attack me."

"It's so strange that it hasn't happened before.You should be more careful in the future. "

"I see. Especially since your life isn't yours anymore."

"I remember the liver.You didn't have anyone else hurt, did you?

"I broke my luggage and lumber to stop this carriage.Several people were involved and injured, but the guards were on first aid right away, and Schmel arranged the allowance, so it was okay.There are no dead but the assassins. "

"I see....."

Fortunately, there were no deaths except for the assassins, but we should be generous enough to support those who were collaterally injured.I'll personally arrange for you to remember when you get back to the castle.

"Maybe we should stop going into the city."

If you care about that, you can't do anything.

"Nh, I care too much."

Ifrita and Isla will stand together and deny my words.Sure, I feel like I've lost and dragged you into the shadow of an assassin, but I don't think you're going to involve ordinary people.No, wait.

"If assassin raids are a problem, we should make a route that assassins will never attack."

"What about it?"

I see.

Ifrita leaned her neck, but Isla nodded convincingly.This is a reaction to the difference in your experience with me.

"How do we move?Walking? "

"You can lay down the rails and make your own vehicle.We just need to power the Golem. "

What's the magic source?

"Isn't that what it is?

"That's dangerous. You should stop.It's unacceptable to tell such a dangerous thing in the basement of Merynesburg as a leading magician. "

You can use magic crystals, but you can use them because they have a dream power that generates magic almost infinitely.But it's certainly dangerous in an accident.Is it too early for Merynesburg to disappear from the map?



Ifrita leans her neck to hear me and Ira talking.All right, I'll explain the plan before we get to the Adventurer Alliance.This is a groundbreaking plan.In some cases, we might be able to expand the scope of the limes.
