"As long as you swear in Alice's name, tell me the place where the assassins are hiding and do nothing wrong. I'll get out of here right away. I don't care what you like. ”

"I swear in Alice's name that as long as Roy is willing to leave, I will tell him where the Assassins are to be captured, and I will not initiate any arrangements in connection therewith. ”

Roy made his decision sooner than Minnie thought. It seems that the relationship between him and the Assassin is extraordinary. If it were a different time, maybe Minnie Mouse would have spent some time exploring this personal secret. But now......

"She's in the underground vault of the Wind Pavilion warehouse. I laid out the trap runes on the passage. Minnie replied quickly.

"Good, but I have a small request. Roy lit a small candle. The faint light of the fire flickered and flickered.

"It takes a lot of time to get from here to Wind Pavilion. If something happens, neither of us will be happy. So, I hope you don't leave this hall until this candle burns out. Anyway, you can sense the spell mark, so I guess you won't turn me away. Roy said nonchalantly.

"It's really hard to be careful. Minnie Mouse sighed softly. "I promise you. ”

"Then, I will keep my promise. Roy said in a deep voice.

He made a gesture, and the members of the Thieves' Guild and the temporarily hired mercenaries left the mansion one by one. Until the last person disappeared along with the two bodies outside the door. The dark elves departed in a black fog.

Roy left only one sentence in the end.

"I trust Alice so much that that's why I trust you and agree to your request. I hope you don't tarnish that trust. ”

[Is it a thief's trick? 】

Minnie shrugged her shoulders and sat down cross-legged. Wait for the moment when the candle goes out.

Now that a promise has been made, it must be met. As long as the magic markers separated by several walls do not change unexpectedly. Minnie Mouse won't leave the hall.

"Is this what it's like to be trusted?" It's a little warm, just like lying on the grass and basking in the sun in the spring. 】

[The beating of the heart is not normal. The flow rate of the blood also varies. Well, it's a very comfortable feeling. Very good, very good......]

[I...... I'm jealous of you...... Alice. 】

Minnie Mouse sighed softly, then lowered her eyes. Sink the spirit into deep meditation.

Minnie Mouse is nothing more than a dream. Even her body was forcibly plundered, and sooner or later she would join Alice's ranks.

But before that......

So be it......

When the light difference from the extinguishing of the candle woke the girl up. The night star has climbed the curtain of the heavenly dome.

This candle looks short, but it burns for a long time.

The spell traps in the Wind Pavilion dungeon signaled that they had been cracked long before an hourglass. Presumably Roy had taken the Assassin away by now. What was the relationship between them, so much so that Roy would rather give up another assassin than save her life?

[But the assassin doesn't seem to be wearing anything.] If Roy's relationship with her is anything I imagined...... Hey!]

Minnie covered her mouth and smiled slyly like a real seventeen-year-old girl. The smile only lasted for a moment, but—

Alice would never laugh like that.

"Okay, let Roy's business go his own way. Now it's still a matter of getting down to business. The girl stood up and patted the dust off her coat. Immediately, he looked up at a place that was blocked by the wall.

The magic mark placed on the Wood Elf Assassin floated silently somewhere behind the wall, like a beating heart, rhythmically unleashing special waves of magical power.

A qiē looks normal, and it's a happy deal.

Minnie Mouse pushed open the door in front of her, followed by a second one.

"Well, obsidian is used in the walls, which hinders spell casting. It seems that Roy used a lot of effort to prevent the assassin from escaping. ”

Thinking of this, Minnie's mood was even happier. She gently pushed her fingers away, pushing open the last door that stood in her way. If there was no gap in her perception, then the wood elf Yasse should be in this house.

Her movements froze.

There are very few furnishings in the room, just a bed and a table. Nothing else.

No one, no wood elves, no assassins!

"Ha~huh-ha~huh-" Minnie took a deep breath and exhaled. Then another breath, then another exhale.

She looked up at the roof, where not even a speck of dust had been wiped off the neat wooden planks.

She turned her head to look at the windows, where each door and window were sealed with wooden bars and nailed with iron nails.

Her toes stomped lightly on the ground, and every stone brick in the room made a symmetrical sound.

Finally, Minnie Mouse set her eyes on the table, a smiling figure with a familiar wave of magic inside.

She should have thought that since Roy was able to detect the magic beacon, how could he not mislead as a veteran thief?

She should have thought of it a long time ago.

"Huhuhuhu...... Hehehehehe......" The girl's shoulders shrugged unnaturally, and a low murmur came out under her face, which was covered by her short blond hair.

"I actually believe him, I actually believe him!"

'Zheng-' The long sword was unsheathed, and the metal trills rang out continuously.

Court Swordsmanship No. 5: Wind Scarre!

Hundreds of sword lights swept through the wind pressure. And the material structure shrouded by this sword momentum - all turned into pieces!

Minnie Mouse spun around and left the room that had been twisted into a garbage dump by sword skills.

There was nothing left here that was worth wasting her time on.

And with Minnie's departure, a certain shackle in the girl's heart and something that has just sprouted dissipated. There is no possibility of a second time.

"It's terrible. Minnie said exasperatedly.

She probably didn't notice that this was the first time she spontaneously surfaced emotions that didn't belong to Alice.

On a starry night moon, the cold night wind is like a butcher's knife. Just passing by can make you feel a piercing pain.

A few fallen leaves were swept up by the cold wind, and drifted in the direction of Minnie Mouse unhappily.

[Murderous!?]

The pitch-black shadow swept by like a predatory bird, leaving a narrow and deep sword mark on the ground!

"Who's there!?" Minnie quickly dodged, a cloud of magical energy already thrown in the direction of the vanishing shadow!

Destroying Miè Spell Heavy Flame.

This spell is equivalent to a weakened version of incineration, and if hit, even giants in the wilderness will be roasted alive to ashes!

However, it was only a few trees that burned because of the bombardment of magical energy.

There was a slight sound of wind behind her, and Minnie didn't think about it, and subconsciously turned around with a sword. However, as soon as the enemy's sword strike was touched, it was coming from another direction in the blink of an eye.

The blades clashed rapidly, and the clanging sound of metal clashing continued.

Both of them knew that this fancy collision was just a prelude, and it was the last sword that really needed to be cohesive.

And this sword, with all your might!

'Bell ――――――――!!!!'

The attacker and the attacked finally came to a head-on collision. The diffuse wind pressure struck the stone wall with a dull sound.

The attacker took five steps back, while Minnie took seven steps.

One offense and one defense, which means that Minnie Mouse has suffered a big loss. But the moment of steady footsteps was enough for Minnie to see the attacker's face clearly.

Déjà vu face.

A familiar figure.

A familiar sword.

Ebony Blade......

"Parrot!"

The assassin, known as the parrot, looked up, and there was not a trace of black in his pale eyes. She opened her mouth, her hoarse voice piecing together syllables.

“AL…………”

[Eroding his body by the power of the demon god, not only did he lose his vision, but he was also deprived of the ability to speak?]

Minnie Mouse has not been able to make any further inferences. The pitch-black sword tide is coming!

“AL！！！！！”

The parrot is like a beast. And the ebony blade in her hand is as fierce as a giant beast in the field! After dozens of swords, Minnie was beaten backwards, almost unable to hold her foot!

[It's so heavy...... What kind of Cheng dù has she been eroded to!?]

'Boom-' A courtyard wall beside him collapsed under the tearing of Minnie's sword qi that deliberately suppressed the direction. The bouncing bricks made the parrot's pace falter slightly. The perfect sword momentum also revealed a flaw.

【Opportunity!】

The girl took a half-step forward, her body turned, and her metalized right hand turned into a sword.

"Die!"

The blade of the sword tore flesh and blood, shattering bones and bones. A crimson mist splashed half of Minnie's body.

However, there was not a trace of joy of victory in the girl's heart.

The sword didn't hit the guts or anything like that. And...... When Minnie Mouse turned around, even the outer wounds had healed quickly in the blood and wriggling flesh.

"It's a big problem now......"

The assassin parrot has obviously been completely eroded by the demon artifact Ebony Blade, and not only has he lost his ability to see and speak, but I am afraid that even his thoughts have been occupied by the Ebony Blade. has completely become a puppet of the sword.

So, at such a great price, what kind of power can the parrot gain?

Self-healing is probably just one of them, but she should have even more terrifying abilities.

Even if you get rid of these things. Her strength and speed beyond the ordinary, and her beastly instincts to fight are still unmatched.

It's almost like ......

[It's like Alice before she went to Loristade.] 】

Minnie's eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand holding the sword gradually strengthened.

It seems that some strategy will have to be employed.

“AL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”
