"Lenia, how's it going?"

After activating a bead, Duke, who hid far behind to avoid causing trouble, saw that the fighting had stopped on Lenia's side, so he secretly poked and asked.

"I'm still scared of him, please punish him. ”

Seeing Duke approaching, Lenia replied with some reproach.

"Eh, don't think about it so much, it's a big deal to catch it next time. ”

However, Duke only waved his hand, not very concerned about the result, and now that he had the sensing beads sent by Agnes, the assassins were no longer a great threat to him, after all, only poisonous snakes that had been hiding in the shadows were worthy of vigilance.

Thinking about it this way, the props given by Agnes are not bad, and after these two successful inductions, Duke's heart has slowly eliminated her resentment of stealing top-level magic props twice in a row.

"The other party is seriously injured, and if it is not treated in time, it will become crippled if it does not die, so we can at least temporarily avoid worrying about the assassin attacking again. ”

"Oh, did you beat the assassin so badly?" Duke was a little surprised by Lenia's strength, he didn't expect her to be able to fight an opponent of the same level so easily, "In that case, let's move on to what we haven't solved just now." ”

Without the threat of the Assassins, Duke's mood instantly brightened, and he smiled and walked with Lenia in the direction of the barracks.

...............

In the Viscount Stearns' territory, outside the tavern where the "cat demon" usually lives, a slightly embarrassed figure broke in directly from the back door.

The guests in the tavern looked at the uninvited guest only slightly with a wary look, but when they soon realized that the other party was a tattered tramp, they all looked away with contempt and stopped paying attention to the other party.

Elson's attendant was acting as an eyeliner in the corner of the tavern, drinking here every night and waiting for the "cat demon" to come back to report the progress of the mission, although he had never seen each other for so long, but he was happy to be idle, drinking ale and getting money here every day, it can be said that he had the most comfortable time in his career.

It was only soon that his interest was broken by a homeless man, who stumbled over, grabbed the food in front of him and began to gobble it up.

"I say, are you impatient?"

Holding back the anger in his heart, he warned himself in his heart not to ruin the things that Mr. Butler had confessed because of his anger, so he just showed the hidden blade in his sleeve and shook it in front of this homeless man, threatening to make the other party retreat.

Unmoved, the homeless man even grabbed his free right hand slowly but firmly on his right hand, which was hiding the blade, and flipped his wrist in the blink of an eye, and the object in his sleeve fell on the table with a clatter.

"It hurts, it hurts...... Do you know who I am?"

The sharp pain in his hand made him dare not make a mistake, and he could only threaten with words.

Moreover, the noise in the tavern was too noisy, and few people noticed the anomaly here, but they all skimmed it indifferently with an attitude of not caring about themselves.

"But you told your boss that I wanted to see Mr. Elson, right away!"

Finally, an uncomfortable sound came from under the hood, as if various metals were being stacked on top of each other, and at the same time, the force of grasping the wrist was a little heavier, and there were several crunch clicks in succession.

Only then did he notice that the hand that was holding him was covered with disgusting pus and festering wounds, and it was covered with hideous marks like burns, and until now he couldn't understand why such a nearly crippled hand had such great strength.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know what Mr. Elson, you...... Ahh

Out of instinct to keep his job, he was not willing to sell his master so easily, and he did not want to appear so spineless.

It's just that what was immediately fed back to him was a deeper pain, and the other party had just finished eating the food on the table, and the other free hand had already touched the handle of the knife.

"Wait, wait, I remember thinking Mr. Elson, tell me your name, I'll report it!"

Finally, the fear of death overwhelmed his determination to save his job, and when the other party was ready to start using the knife, he immediately changed his words, and if the conditions did not allow it, he could even immediately kneel down and speak.

"Cat demon. ”

"What? I didn't hear you clearly......

"Cat demon!"

It turns out that this homeless man who appeared in the tavern is the "cat demon" who barely escaped from the double attack of Lenia and Duke.

At that time, although she successfully deceived Lenia by transforming into a cat and her natural skills, she was seriously injured after all, and she fainted after escaping for a few miles.

After that, he was painful in his sleep, and his right hand, which had been burned by Duke's rays, had completely festered, and the huge wound that was cut by Lenia was only able to stop the bleeding with the last holy medicine, and it was still faintly painful after the scab, and the only effect was that the right hand had regained some strength and mobility, and it was not as useless.

But now that most of the effective medicines on her body have been exhausted, and there is not much money left, even the clothes on her body have been stolen from a civilian family in the night, and it is completely impossible to restore and heal on her own.

In the end, she had no choice but to go around and return to Viscount Stern, hoping to get some necessary help from Elson, after all, her fully recovered self was still somewhat useful for assassinating Duke, and could help Elson complete the mission.

Elson's attendant was still very impressed with the person he had been waiting for, and immediately agreed to find Elson, only saying that he would let the "cat demon" wait here for a while, and Elson would arrive immediately, and then left the tavern with a cigarette.

Although he was now horrified by the so many hideous and serious wounds on the "cat demon", and he couldn't tell that the other party was a powerful assassin in that outfit, he couldn't stand the strength of the other party and was the object of his master's orders, so in the end he didn't think much about it and ran towards Viscount Stern's mansion.

Seeing him agree so readily, the "cat demon" also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, picked up the ale that the other party had not had time to drink, and turned it gently, thinking about how to ask Elson for help next.
