No one could have imagined that the little priest who had been running barefoot in the temple not long ago would become a figure of his own in less than a month. The goddess Ginares seems to favor her extraordinarily, not only giving the girl a kind heart, but also giving her the status of a temple priest.

Because the chief priest was injured in the dragon plague, all the big and small affairs in the temple fell on the girl. In the beginning, many qualified old people did not trust her. However, now, even a veteran of the battle will bend down respectfully when he sees her, and say sincerely:

"It was my pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Ruby. ”

And now, she and her sacrificial regiment have arrived at the wounded barracks. Along with it, there is also a healing spell of the restoration fù system.

Gina Les' daughters have always been able to grasp the power to heal the body and mind. And when the best of them walked with the light of healing in the wounded barracks. The soldiers' thanks came like a tidal wave.

"Thank you, noble lord. ”

"May the Holy Spirit bless you. ”

"Excuse me. ”

“…………”

Ruby, on the other hand, reciprocated with a pure smile and an even more intense glow of healing. Until she left, many people still sighed in the direction where the sacrificial group had disappeared.

"It's a lot of hard work. The kid. Kanon said heavily.

"Huh?"

She didn't say a word, she probably didn't have any extra body to consume. Look at the two temple warriors next to her, they look like they're protecting her, but they're actually holding her to prevent her from falling. ”

The muscles of Hadava's face twitched, and then he replied, "That's why we need to do our job more perfectly." You can't let this burden fall on a child. He moved his injured left arm, and the healing technique worked well. It will probably take a while to be able to regain combat power.

"Yes," replied Canon, "but the city seems to be restless, too." The brothers of the Night Watch were often able to find fresh pieces of corpses in the alleys. But not a drop of blood. ”

"Vampires?"

He shook his head and made an expression that he couldn't bear to look at. "Vampires aren't so ruthless. Don't you see, those cuts of meat are like beef jerky......"

"That's strict. Hadava said, "At this time, there are murderers...... Is it the rebel spies who did it?"

"It's possible, but it's not something we should worry about. Now there are all kinds of news and rumors in the city, so let the professional people deal with them. In such a tense situation, people with weak willpower are prone to hallucinations. Kanon laughed and said, "It's funny to say." One of my nephews insisted he had seen a silver ooze burrow into a girl's belly, but the guards didn't see a single footprint. He thought it was the Lake West, Ooze Monster. Hey!"

"That's a hallucination. Hadawa said approvingly.

………………

At this moment, Minnie Mouse, who was in the snowy inner city, rubbed her nose.

"Hmm~ Did something strange happen? She looked to the left and then to the right. It was immediately determined that it was just a physical illusion.

Since it's an illusion, don't bother with it.

The spell beacon stopped on the façade of a building not far ahead. From the view of life, you can see that there are quite a few strong guards inside the building. Although it doesn't take much effort to get rid of them. But it wouldn't be nice to get the attention of the guards. With his current physical condition, it is not good to be besieged by multiple ring-level warriors.

I had to think of another way.

[Do you want to sneak in?]

Minnie Mouse shook her head. Sneaking around in an Assassin colony was not a good idea. At least not sensible for a character like Minnie who eats on instinct.

Then, you can only create a little chaos and then force a breakthrough.

It's already close to the inner city. If you alarm the guards, you will be surrounded within five minutes. Then, you can only create chaos to attract the attention of the guards first. Wait until they are too busy to take advantage of the opportunity.

Fifteen minutes later, a horse-drawn carriage full of goods in the next block overturned in the street.

Twenty-five minutes later, a fire broke out in an oil shop.

[In that case, it should be enough.] 】

Look at the crowd in the distance and the scrambling patrol guards. Minnie Mouse had a satisfied smile on her face. Such chaos is not strict and will not attract too many high-ranking fighters. But it can sufficiently consume the guard force in this area.

Then after that, it's killing.

The two men at the door had already died before they could react. In order to hide as much as possible, Minnie Mouse solved them as quickly as possible. Then, with a hand, the two guards were napping as if they were leaning against the doorrail.

[It's a good start.] 】

After that, there were the six people in the first hall......

"Stop, Alice. ”

[Tragedy. 】

Minnie Mouse stopped. At the end of her line of sight, Roy, the dark elf, was staring at her with burning eyes.

"I saw you here. It's not at all gratifying. I thought you wouldn't feel the spell mark. Minnie said regretfully.

"You may not know that I am on the execution ground in Helgen. It's because of the spell mark by the wizard. And whoever does my job will never plant it twice in the same place. ”

Minnie covers her face. In this situation...... What else can I say?

"You must have done all that commotion before, that's not the way Alice behaves as I know it. Roy raised the short bow in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Say, who are you!"

"You've called me Alice so much, and now you're asking who I am?" Minnie replied angrily. "I've long said I'm Minnie, part of Alice. I thought you understood. ”

Roy frowned, his doubts overflowing.

"What part? People can't be divided into pieces. ”

"It seems that your understanding of the concept of [Alice] is a little wrong. Minnie replied softly. "Let me explain. ”

"Is Alice human? Yes, of course. In the abstract, however, Alice is a kingdom. And the Alice you see for the first time is the king of the kingdom. ”

"If there is a king, there must be ministers under the king's command. In the absence of the monarch, these ministers are eligible to participate in the affairs of the state. And the one you see in front of you is one of them. ”

"That is, you usurped Alice's power?"

"How could it be. Minnie Mouse shook her hand and smiled, "Only another monarch can defeat one monarch." I don't have that qualification. When the first qiē is normal, I naturally have to go back to where I should be. ”

"I see. Roy nodded. "So, one last question. Why are you telling me all these things?"

"Because you asked. Minnie replied helplessly, "After all, I am an extension of Alice, and it is impossible for me to do anything against her will." Just as a minister can influence the monarch's mind, but he cannot break the monarch's laws. In Alice's logic of thinking, there are people who cannot be harmed, or even deceived. In other words, if you want to do it, I'll just have to run away. Even if you want to be killed, there is no way to fight back. ”

Roy was taken aback by what he said. He didn't expect Alice to have such a high level of trust in him. However, there is no way he can help Alice out of this strange situation that he doesn't know how to describe.

[Moreover, what this guy said may not be true.] 】

"Of course, it's okay to take advantage of loopholes. So, let's make the deal. Minnie said.

"Huh?"

"There's no doubt that the Wood Elf assassin is in this room. Although I don't know how you used to control her. But then you can trade. ”

Minnie stared into Roy's eyes and said seriously, "I caught a Brotherhood assassin last night, and if you are of a higher rank, you must be higher than the one here. But she's trained in the will, and there's no way I'm going to get what I want out of her mouth in a short period of time. Still, I think you probably know her. ”

Minnie describes Lilith's appearance and fighting style. Then, as expected, a faint emotional fluctuation was caught in Roy's eyes.

It seems that these two people do know each other.

"So, trade that assassin for this assassin of yours here. What do you think?"

As soon as Roy was about to speak, Minnie Mouse quickly added. "If you ask me directly where she's hiding, I'll tell you too. But I've set up a magic circle in that place, and if you ask, I'll detonate it right away. The Assassin is so weak now that I will never survive if I do it. ”

In this way, all shortcuts are completely blocked. And in the face of such conditions, Roy is in an obvious dilemma.

Giving up a new acquaintance is still a friend who has a bad relationship. This question may not need to be thought too much about......

However...... How can you abandon your partner who fought side by side not long ago!

"Can't we give us a better way......" Roy asked with difficulty.

"It can't be. I have the same memories as Alice, but I think in very different ways. This is already the result of my compromise. ”

"Still, I can promise not to hurt the Assassin. And let her leave safely after knowing the information she needed. ”

"You swear?"

"I swear. ”
