Lesson 407 Unexpected Harvest

In the direction you're heading, there was a brothel, wasn't there?

"I can't miss the King's Way... apparently, the brothel seems to be the destination."

"This is a bad destination... this is the only place I can get in."

Huh?! Are you going in?!

Nil looks at me with a blue face. It sounds rather disgusting.

"If we can catch him without going in, it would be better, but... is there such a convenient way...?"

"I promise! I'll find it!" So please give me a little more time! "

Nil's mood is terrifying.This won't convince me until I find a way.I don't mean to play in a brothel, and I don't feel like I need to be so attracted to it... but I don't want to be in a brothel.

While walking, Nil thinks with a serious face, and I think too.

The brothels are lined with such shops, and slaves are also bought and sold.Probably, illegal drug trafficking like Zarain is also centered around such places.At the center of such a place is a large whorehouse called Dawn, which is also a shop that organizes the shops around it.Naturally, the security is quite strong, and if you sneak in, it will be difficult to enter the next building of the lord's castle.Prostitutes won't want to go to a whorehouse where they can sneak in easily.

If you just enter normally, you can enter as a guest, but in this case, you need to sneak in or take the opponent out.

If you ask me to call a guy who looks like this... I'll be out in many ways.

Now, as you walk around worrying about what to do, you can see the intended whorehouse.

"After all, you're going to the biggest whorehouse."

"Uu, uuu....."

Looks like Nil twisted her head and she didn't have a good idea.

I am very troubled by the eyebrows.

"... ah!"

Nil's face turns bright and she looks at me. It seems that something came to mind.

“How about this?”

Nil thinks it's a simple plan to get the man out of here.

Me and Nil, the bandit I was asked to kill.The ring that he was wearing was sent to the man of interest, and the man we cared about appeared where we were waiting for him...

"The ring is returned from Garrosa, maybe it's not bad..."

If the evidence of a man who was suddenly murdered is presented in front of him, a man who seems to know a lot about Handyman will not be able to ignore it.Although it is simple, it is difficult to take countermeasures because of its simplicity.Even if I realized it was a trap, I couldn't ignore it or leave it alone.If you decide to come right away, you won't have time to call your people, and the choice of the man you want is either to ignore it or to come in alone and try to listen, but for the man who has established his position among the handymen, it is essentially the latter choice.

"Okay. Let's go with Nil's plan."

I was the only one who saw Nil pose so small that they couldn't see us.

"For now, check with Surakitan to see if the man goes somewhere else."

Okay.

"The place looks good in that alley."

Heine pointed to a dim, no-person alley.It's not a bad place for hiding.

"To take the ring... I see." Ask Nil. ”

Is that me?

"Perhaps the other man knew that the slave woman had escaped from the abandoned village."If you hide your ears and your hair, you'll connect them and think about it.Even if it isn't, it should be easier to point your legs at us if you know it's a woman. ”

"... Okay, I'll be right there."

"Pilte, just stay a little bit away from me in case something happens."

Got it.

Heine needs a few tricks.

It's a sudden case, but if it's this kind of thing, these five people will be able to deal with it adequately.

Nil goes to the whorehouse and leaves the ring.

Meanwhile, I'm the one Heine puts a little trick in the alley and waits for the man.He nods when he sees Surakutan.It seems that the man is coming to us as scheduled.

A few minutes later, I saw him in Haribote's hut, and he cleaned himself up a little.

A man walks slowly towards us.He looked quite alert, but there was no sign of any of his people.

Who are you?

I was the only one in the alley, so I knew I was the one who brought the ring.The man's hand rests on a straight sword hanging from his waist.

……………

“What's the purpose? Where did the slave woman go?"

Many questions are asked, but I'm not willing to answer them, and it's time for Heine and Sura Tan to get ready.

The trick I asked Heine to do was a trap magic.The way a man acts is to fight or run.If you want to fight, it's good to restrain it as it is, but if you run away, you'll run away if you're bad at it, because the opponent has the advantage of the land.We had a lot of trouble with that, so we set up a trap to make sure we got them.Then, when the man came, the two of them turned around and completed the first siege.

"Three people... what's the point?!"You know who I am, and you're holding out your hand?! "

The man who suddenly noticed Heine yelled.

Once you become a key member of Handyman, you won't be able to do anything easily.But we're even trying to crush that handyman.As long as I'm happy to be a key member of Ningliang.

A man who understands that we know him and that he has a hand checks his surroundings.

Are you looking for an escape route?If we're going to get away, we're going to have to break through Heine's and Sura's paths.

"Grrrr!"

Did you think that three against one was bad? The man pulled out his straight sword and ran towards me.

Apparently, they chose a one-on-one situation over a three-on-one one.

Oraa!

A man raises his straight sword. He was one of the main members of the Handyman team that dealt with the rough times.

The stepping in is sharp, and a number of feents are interwoven just to make a single blow.I knew right away that it was a way of fighting that was specialized in interpersonal combat.Strong indeed. Definitely stronger than adventurers everywhere, and not so easy to kill against adventurers who have received their request for a crusade.

But unfortunately, we can't be called ordinary adventurers.

Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

"Huh?!"

The man is rather surprised that he didn't expect his attacks to play so easily.

Shit!

The man immediately decides that he can't beat me and returns his heel.If you can't beat me, I think I've thought of breaking through the back two.

Olah!

However, the man who tried to slash it suddenly changed direction and ran straight to the side.There is, of course, a shop or something on the wall.Perhaps the man is trying to escape by breaking through the wall.

Zugahahahaha!!

"Gahhh!"

But a man who stood by the wall was pierced by a stone stake that appeared from his feet, and was unable to move.

Beginner Earth Magic, Thruststone. It is a low-damage magic that is classified as beginner in the Trap Earth Magic.The length of the pile coming out is at most twenty centimeters.The range is small, about 1 meter radius, and it's best to trap one person, dealing less damage to the opponent.

Therefore, it is a magic that can only be used when capturing an opponent without killing them, or when stealing their mobility.In this case, I want to extract information from the other party, so I can't kill them.And in order not to get away with it, the thrust stone was just right to take away the maneuverability.

And the man ran out in the direction of the wall, thinking it might be unexpected.That wasn't unexpected to us.The direction in which I'm standing, the direction in which Heine really is standing.If neither of them can be used as an escape route, the only way to escape is to break through the wall.Therefore, the trap was placed near the left and right walls.

With the possibility of escaping upstairs somehow, Nil and Pilte had to wait on top of the building, but apparently they didn't have to.

The stone piling falling from the soles of the man's feet to his armor is wet with blood and turns red and black.It is impossible for a man with injuries to his leg to escape.It's a simple job after all.Just take the weapon, steal the consciousness, tie it up, and take it with you.

There are several places I was planning to hide until I destroyed Zarein Farm.In the meantime, move to a place where even a little noise is unnoticed, and extract information from the man.

If you want to move out of sight in a city like this, it's best to go on the roof.People don't look up much in the city, and even if they do, they won't be able to see us.

So we go up to the roof and start moving.

“Where are you headed?”

"I see... it would be better to get information while investigating the castle, or preferably close to it."

Well then... it's a cemetery, isn't it?

That's right.

In the city, there are cemeteries, and there are many tombs, and there are some mausoleums in them.According to Garosa, there are many solid objects in the mausoleum, and even if there is some noise in the mausoleum, there is no leakage of voice outside.

You might think you don't have to go to the cemetery, but this city is being hijacked by a handyman.There's a lot of them out there who can hide.If you don't choose a place to hide carefully, it can happen that you bump into each other and fight as you go.

From the cemetery to the castle where the lord lived, it was not far from the place where there was a little distance, so I thought it was a good distance.

We take the man into the cemetery and open the solid mausoleum inside.

Because it is only a mausoleum, it is not so wide, but even if everyone enters, there is plenty of room.It smells a little moldy, but if you don't even care about it, the rain storm will rise, and it's not surprisingly bad.In this world, corpses become undead, so they are never left in graves.Therefore, sleeping next to a corpse does not happen.

The mausoleum we entered belonged to a famous nobleman, or a cloth with an embroidered family crest was hung on the wall, and there were beautiful sculptures on the walls and pillars.It's a little weathered, but the decor is also quite decorative.

Close the door of the mausoleum, light the lantern, and tie the man to one of the pillars.

"I think I can tell a lot about Handyman."

"Yes, I'll look into this with Pilte."Sinya-san, please take care of the lord and Zarain Farm.It's different to just look at it before dawn, isn't it? ”

That's right.

From here on, we will move around gathering information.There's a sura-tan, so let's start with the three of us gathering all the information we can.

“Let's take a look at Zalain Farm first.”

As soon as I entered, I, Nil, and Slatan left the mausoleum and headed for the castle that is the lord's residence.

The city is still busy, and people can hear laughter from the shops.If it wasn't for Zarain, the lord, and the bandits, it might be quite a fun city, but I couldn't afford to.

As you approach the castle with a sideways look at the bustle of the city, you will see the guards walking frequently.Apparently, there were some soldiers on patrol.The perimeter of the castle appears to be well guarded.

"You've got more soldiers."

Looking at it from the top of the roof, Surakutan said in a nervous voice.

This is the first time this has happened, and I'm sure you'll be nervous.

"With Suraitan's speed, I could leave in an instant."You don't have to be so nervous. ”

But you've never seen anything like it, have you?

"Well, that's true, but don't let it distract you."

"Yeah, I know."

Keep your eyes off the soldiers and head towards the castle.

The castle is the largest building in the city, so even at night, the city lights can be seen from a distance.

"I've heard from Garrosa-san, but she's actually pretty big."

"There's nothing I can't climb, but I'm sure we'll find it."

The castle is a completely square building, entirely sandy.It is a stone building with sculptures surrounding the outer perimeter, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a very golden building.

As you get closer, you'll see soldiers around and lots of patrols.Unlike other places, only the outer perimeter of the castle is wide. There is no such thing as a ridge or moat, but there will be no deadly assault in it.

"I can't jump over this road width."

"I can't hide my surprise at the thought of jumping over it?!"

The road is roughly twenty meters wide.I think I can manage to jump over the road and stick to the wall, but if I do that, it will be the attention of the soldiers below.Spy

Master, why don't you use this?

That's why Nil took out one of the newly made items.

In a nutshell, it's called a hoop. When climbing to a high place, it throws and hooks the metal like a hook and passes the rope attached to it to climb the wall.It's easy to tell when a ninja or something uses it.

However, the rope made this time uses Arachne's hard thread instead of the rope.

There are two types of arachnid threads, sticky and rigid, both of which are very useful.The thread is about the size of an index finger and has a toughness that does not match the thickness.On top of that, it was also resistant to fire.

There are no other materials like this, and I'm glad I collected them as much as I could in the submarine tunnel dungeon.I still have a lot left and I can apply it to a variety of things.

This time, it is not a hook rope, it is a simple thing attached to the hook nail as a hook thread, but there are many other things made.I'll use it for another occasion...

Sure, this will reach the other side...

Does that mean that the yarn color is prominent?

Yeah.

The yarn color is white. If a white line is drawn over the boulder, it will stand out even at night.

"Then you can use the bottle I gave you before."

"Um......"

There are already more than a dozen types of bottles I got from Surakutan, so I don't know what you're talking about.

"This is it."

Slatan pulled out of the inventory a bottle shaped like a triangular flask with nothing in it.

Ahh!

I know what it is.

When I first saw it, I said that there was nothing in it, but in fact, it just looked like there was nothing in it, and the contents were firmly in it.

This is a slime jar made from a C-ranked slime called Color Slime, which is a very unique mucus.

[Discoloration liquid (colour slime)... mucus created from colour slime.It has the property of discoloring according to the surrounding color.]

As you can see from the results of using appraisal magic, this mucus has the property of tarnishing.

Briefly, you can give a chameleon-like ability to the surface of any object.

Moreover, unlike chameleons, it does not imitate the color of the object being touched, but its ability to blend into the visual background, so even if it was in the air, it can be discolored so that it can be mimicry when viewed from all directions.

For example, in this case, when you paint it on the surface of the thread of the arachnid and stretch it over the castle, it looks the same color as the sky from the bottom, but it looks the same as the ground from the top.

It's an incredible ability, but it's not something you can use anytime, anywhere.

First of all, this mucus loses its ability by drying out, and it turns white and peels off and falls off.Moreover, you can only hold the color for a few minutes.Besides, it gives some toxicity to human skin, so it is burned (just), so I can't use it.

It is a mucus with a lot of restrictions, and it will not fully exert its efficacy unless it is used successfully.

However, since the ability itself is very useful, it can be used quite a bit depending on the use method.And this time, it should help us enough.

Because there is clear discoloured mucus in the bottle, if the lid is opened and tilted, the mucus inside will come out.

As soon as I apply the discoloration solution to the arachnid thread, the colour changes.All we have to do is throw this and hook it into the castle, but this is easy.

Let's go.

He spun his claws with a thread and a thread and threw them at the castle at the right time.That's it. It's hard to jump and stick, but if you just throw the claws away, it's within easy reach, so you don't have to struggle.

Would you all like to go?

"... no. Surakitan. Can you do me a favor?"

Me, alone?

Yeah.

The thread of arachnid is caught around the roof of the castle and is firm, but the effect of the discoloration liquid lasts a few minutes.After a while, the product peels off from the surface and falls off.In other words, you can't keep the hammer thread on forever.Then we need to have one on our side.Besides, it may take me and Nil a long time to pass it on, and I may be seen from below.At that point, the slatan will run out in no time.

"... I see."

"This time, we just need to check."Worst of all, just peek into the roof and don't make a mistake. ”

"Yeah. I would never do that, so don't worry."

Well then... I'll go. "

When I grip the edge of the thread and stretch the thread with the pin, the slatan bends the knee.

Tan!

The slacker kicks the ground and jumps right over the thread.

The thread stretches diagonally upward and is coated with mucus, so if you put your foot on something strange, it will slip, but you won't do that.
