Two dead men, two dead Brotherhood Assassins. One is a wood elf and the other is a tiger man. Their weapons pierced each other's hearts or heads, and they were all gone.

Alice didn't like the Brotherhood's assassins. Neither the living nor the dead do not like it. But now it's clear that it's not a matter of liking it or not—trouble comes to the door, but it's not something you can dodge if you want to.

You can't pretend you didn't see it......

Alice hesitated, but finally decided to take a little time out to deal with this unexpected event. She turned, and quickly came to the corner where the two Assassins had died together.

[It feels a little strange.] 】

"Is it the infighting of the Brotherhood, or is it the enforcers of the Assassin Order who are cleaning up the traitors?" she scanned her gaze over the two bruised corpses, examining every suspicious trace. Tong Guò observes the traces of damage to her surroundings, and a simple battle quickly comes to her mind.

This is not the first battleground. By the time the two Assassins arrived, they had already been wounded. Alice glanced at a dark red radial stain of blood, which only led to such a result in high-speed movement.

"They came here to assassinate each other with the help of the obstacles and shadows around them. ”

Alice's fingers brushed over an old tombstone, a finger-deep sword mark on the side of the stone that proved how hard it had been hit, it was supposed to be a lure tactic, and one of the Assassins managed to lure her opponent into slashing at the tombstone - and sure enough, on the opposite side of the tombstone, there were large patches of blood on the ground.

"Did a sword cut through the flank, so it caused such an injury?" she glanced at the tiger man in the assassin's corpse, and found a large crack in the latter's waist very lightly.

In this way, it is basically possible to declare the victory or defeat decided.

But...... Alice tilted her head, her gaze moving up. Immediately, he spotted the assassin's dagger that was held by the tiger man and pierced through the heart of the wood elf. This...... Undoubtedly unconscionable. Even though the wood elf's face was obscured by a black veil, Alice could see the astonishment and surprise on her face.

An Assassin trained by the Brotherhood should not have made such a fatal mistake with such a big advantage.

Perhaps the two Assassins were lovers, or perhaps the Tiger Man had said something terrible, or perhaps the Wood Elf had eaten a bad stomach in the morning...... There are all kinds of possibilities, and you can't say anything without seeing them with your own eyes.

At least, Alice found no signs of a third party meddling in the vicinity. And after examining the pockets of the corpse's clothes, no remarkable text or jewelry was found.

"Then this should just be an ordinary assassin killing. Well, it's not unusual for these underground rats in the dark to kill each other. It's not a good thing anyway. ”

She looked left and right, and when she saw that there was no one around, she dropped a wall of flames. The orange-red flames quickly spread, and in just one or two breaths, the corpses of the two assassins, along with the many flowers and plants around them, were completely engulfed in the flames.

It's the rising moon, the beginning of the month, and the air is humid. As long as the mana of the maintenance spell is exhausted, the magic flame will also be extinguished, so there is no need to worry about the possibility of starting a fire. Alice didn't do this specifically against the Brotherhood—though she did hate them.

She just felt that these two corpses shouldn't just be in such a violent wilderness.

It's an inexplicable feeling. Perhaps it was the occasional feeling of pity in her heart, compared to what the brotherhood had done to her. Such a response may be classified as hypocrisy...... But—

- The matter has come to this point, and there is no need to change it again.

The hot wind of the flames blew the corners of Alice's clothes. Suddenly, she saw something she hadn't expected.

"Huh?" Alice tilted her head and stepped forward.

In her field of vision, the Assassin's sword, which had pierced through the tigerman's head in the hands of the Wood Elf Assassin, was rapidly fading the outer black that had been used for camouflage. Within two seconds, she saw a faint silver glow in the flames.

"Sterling silver sword?" Alice stretched out her hand, and the burning magic flames spread out with her will, and when she touched the hilt of this silver-gray long sword, she was surprised to find that the temperature on the hilt of the sword did not even hit the hot Cheng Dù.

Not sterling silver. No, it's not even a composite silver alloy. The sword was made up of something far more precious than silver. This is the vein of the mountains, the precious minerals hidden under the earth. This thing is a rare treasure made by ancient people, which is comparable to ebony!

"Mithril ...... No, is it a mercury sword?" she raised her hand and held the long blade in front of her, and with the unpleasant experience in Ustengra, she was soon able to confirm that the sword was a Gounod artifact from at least two epochs ago.

On the sword, there is a small inscription that has been carefully etched. With Alice's terrible literary prowess, it was not easy to distinguish this line of inscription. But if you take the time, it's not that hard.

"Pity...... What a contextual name. The girl waved her hand, and the dark silver blade sliced through the air in front of her, making a slight whistling sound.

It was out of momentary mercy or the occasional thought of kindness that the bodies of the two assassins were burned. And it was because of this mercy that the disguise of this ancient long sword was removed, and it fell into Alice's hands - the name of this sword can be said to be true.

"Well, I'll take it. With a flick of her wrist, she gripped the mercury sword tightly and tucked the forge-sword back into its scabbard. Because of Alice's enchanted swordsmanship, a large part of the life of the forge's longsword was rapidly consumed during the battle in Ustengra. In its current state, it must have broken down completely after using it a few more times.

Then, this contingency is dealt with. Next, we have to continue to look for the so-called white death knell flower. According to the alchemist, the potion she had prepared for Minnie to stabilize Dìng's condition would last for two more days, and as long as she found the death knell flower before then, it would be no problem.

But...... Where can I find such flowers!?

White flowers, white death knells. It stands to reason that such a death knell flower should be very conspicuous. However, all Alice saw in front of her eyes was black, purple and blue-gray!

Is it because it was so conspicuous that it was taken away by someone who noticed it in advance?

Alice thought to herself, and her steps gradually became impatient. There are at least several mountains in the cemetery north of Mossal, how can it be searched in a day or two?

"Damn...... Isn't there a grave keeper in this place?"

She looked around, and even opened her vision of life. However, not a single living person was found near the cemetery. Not even a slightly larger living creature.

There is no grave keeper, and there is no grave keeper's hut! In this way, the strategy of finding someone who is familiar with the terrain in the cemetery to inquire about information is also lost. The only way to do that is to keep looking.

Go on like this...... No way.

"Maybe I should put another order on the bulletin board to buy a fresh white death knell at a high price?" Alice thought to herself, but immediately dismissed the idea. It's not that she can't afford it, it's because the alchemist named Patchy has already done the same thing, but it hasn't had any positive effect.

Those who come to the door with a notice are basically scammers. And a few of them even used dye to dye ordinary death knell flowers white in an attempt to fool them out! If the money hadn't been cheated out in time, Minnie's life might have been in an extremely dangerous situation!

"Damn. She waved her hand in exasperation, and the 'mercy' in her palm cut a narrow white arc through the air.

The next moment, a scream suddenly came from behind a tombstone not far from her.

"Babbling ——!"

"Little girl?" Alice's eyes twitched, and the voice she heard was distinctly a little girl's exclamation. Maybe some child who came to sweep the grave was hiding there, just frightened by the sword slash just now.

A slight apology rose in her heart. He was about to go up and comfort the frightened little one.

But she took a step, and a sudden discovery rushed into her head.

[Wait!!I'm obviously opening my life horizon now!]

She blinked, her eyes fluctuating with magical energy once more carefully towards the brand-new tombstone. However, she saw nothing but the tombstone itself.

"Who's there!

Alice whispered, she raised her mercury sword, the blade of which was raised in a vigilant gesture.

"If I don't come out, I'm going to cut it down!"

Before he could finish speaking, a low, translucent shadow appeared next to the tombstone. The blurred outline quickly became clear, turning into a face that Alice had seen only a while ago.

"You are ......" Alice's pupils contracted slightly, and her eyes showed an incredible expression. "Helji?"

"Woo woo woo...... Yes, it's Helji. The ghost girl looked at her with some fear, and said cautiously: "Big sister, can you move that sword away?Helji is very well-behaved, don't hurt Helji......"
